Indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4
Eight beautiful verses. Enjoy them all! It’s a pep talk so get ready to rally! If God’s ancient people sang praise choruses, this Psalm would be in the worship rotation.
People would come from all over Israel to Jerusalem for festivals and feasts, a time of celebration and worship of the One True God who led and sustained them. They traveled by foot. The writer observed they walked, with their heads down, watching for obstacles along the road. Doesn’t everyone?
Those pilgrims of long ago were traveling to the city of hope to join family and friends and remember the God who delivered them out of bondage. The God of ages past was faithful to His covenant people. Yet, these people did not always live as though they believed God would remain the same. Would He change and suddenly not care for them anymore? Would their faith become futile? No! The LORD will watch over you forever more, so get your head up and rejoice.
Love,
