From Where Does My Help Come?
Psalm 121
1. The LORD is my help (vv. 1-2).
Psalm 33:8-9 ESV
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9 For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
2. The LORD is my protector (vv. 3-8).
a. He is near and alert (vv. 3-4).
Philippians 4:6-7 ESV
6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
b. He is my shade (vv. 5-6).
Psalm 16:8 ESV
8 I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
c. He will keep my life (vv. 7-8).
Romans 8:35-39 ESV
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
36 As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor power,
39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Micah 7:7 ESV
7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
Lift up your eyes, and look to the LORD.
