My Help Comes From the Lord



Psalm 121

Psalm 121 is the second of the “Psalms of Ascent” and it focuses on God’s divine protection of His people. In his commentary on the Psalms Allen Ross says, “The message is that the pilgrim, the true worshiper who is obeying the LORD’s word and making his way to the sanctuary to appear before the LORD and to praise him for his many benefits, may have confidence that the LORD will see him safely there and back – and in all activities in life.” As New Testament believers we no longer have to pilgrimage to the temple mount to worship God but His promise is no less true to us. We can have confidence in His divine protection because for those who are in Christ Jesus we are promised that we will be kept until He comes again.
