I realize it is not the air I breathe that gives me life. It is the One who decides if I get my next breath who gives me life. Apart from Him I am nothing and I have nothing. But thanks be to God! I am His child! What is mine is His. And all the He is is mine! Reality is that I really do need Him and the truth is I need to remember how desperately my life depends on Him.
[Psa 121:1-8 NASB]
1 A Song of Ascents.
I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From where shall my help come?
2 My help [comes] from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
6 The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
8 The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever.
Need I say more? God’s Word says it all and sums it up nicely. God is the keeper and sustainer of our lives. Let’s live like we believe that this week!
