Verse from Psalms

我的帮助是从造天地的耶和华而来。

‭‭诗篇‬ ‭121:2‬ ‭


“My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭121:2‬ ‭


The psalmist pondered where his help came from, maybe because the hilltops around Israel were dotted with altars to pagan gods and often contained robbers. Or it could have been because the psalmist looked up beyond the hills to Mount Zion where the temple stood and remembered that the Maker of heaven and earth was his covenant God (v. 2). 


Either way, to worship we must look up. We have to lift our eyes higher than our circumstances, higher than our troubles and trials, higher than the empty promises of the false gods of our day. Then we can see the Creator and Redeemer, the One who calls us by name. He’s the One who will “watch over your coming and going” today and forevermore (v. 8).
