Psalms 121 Commentary 

(121:1-8) Trust in the Lord - This song expresses assurance and hope in God's eternal protection, day and night. He not only made the hills but all of heaven and earth as well. We should never trust a lesser power than God himself or believe that answers to life's deepest questions can be found in nature or this world's wisdom. Not only is God all-powerful, but he also watches over us. He watches us like a sentinel or shepherd, alert to danger and ready to help with our needs. Nothing diverts or deters him. We are safe. Let us welcome God's caring and untiring watch over our lives

Each day we walk through the Bible chapter by chapter making an application of our text to help us grow in the Lord. Many applications can be made from each day's text. Today, we continue in the Book of Psalms with Chapter 121. In our text today, we see the theme of how we can depend on God for help. In making an application, we see that as we travel through this ungodly land, we are protected, not by anything that is created but by the Creator. We see that our Help cometh from the Lord. How about you? Do you realize your source of help is from the Lord? Let us learn from our Psalm and text today to remember that in times of distress. We are to lift our eyes for our Help cometh from the Lord.
