The Word of God reflects the Will of God
Psalms 121 1 I look up to the hills,
but where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not let you be defeated.
He who guards you never sleeps.
4 He who guards Israel
never rests or sleeps.
5 The LORD guards you.
The LORD is the shade that protects you from the sun.
6 The sun cannot hurt you during the day,
and the moon cannot hurt you at night.
7 The LORD will protect you from all dangers;
he will guard your life.
8 The LORD will guard you as you come and go,
both now and forever.
Psalm 121 is one of the Songs of Ascent that the worshippers sang as they made their way up the Holy Mountain during their annual visit to Jerusalem. It was a song of confidence and trust and was as much a part of preparing for worship as our praise music is today.
Many churches encourage their people to practice saying out loud declarations of faith. The purpose is to align our hearts with God’s will revealed through His Word. By doing so we witness a distinct shift in our thinking, aligning our speech with God’s character, resulting not in manipulating our outcomes but instead in grounding ourselves in spiritual truth.
May we monitor our feelings and our speech to ensure we are speaking God’s truth rather than validating our emotions.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
