My
help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth…
The
Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
-Psalm 121:2, 5 (ESV).
What
an incomprehensible thought:
God
who made heaven and earth,
Wo
lifted the mountains above the valleys,
Who
bounded the waves of the seas,
Who
strung the stars in galaxies unnumbered,
Who
made the dry land and peopled the forests with animals,
Who
created mankind and gave him dominion and power over the Creation,
Even
He, the Maker of all, even He is my keeper,
My
shade upon my right hand,
My
Companion, my Savior, my Friend.
He,
Creator, Lord, is never too busy to hear me when I call,
Never
too remote to be concerned for my welfare,
Never
too busy to radiate care and concern
In
infinite ways beyond numbering.
How
can my heart respond on this another day
He
has given me in which to rejoice and be glad?
With
gratitude:
Thanksgiving
wells up like an overflowing fountain.
His
provision eradicates all thirst and want.
With
gladness:
Joy
unspeakable and full of glory fills my cup
And
praise wells up in a soul overflowing.
With
awe:
He
is Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
He
neither slumbers nor sleeps and is near to observe
My
going out and my coming in, from henceforth, forevermore!
The
Maker of heaven and earth is my helper.
He
is my keeper and guides me with His mighty hand. Selah!
