Psalms 120 -134 are referred to as the Songs of Ascent. They were sung by Israel as they journeyed up to Jerusalem. Suzi reminded me of Psalm 121 last night and it was a needed reminder.

“I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

Then five times the psalmist uses this phrase about God -“watches over”. I look to a God who watches over me and my life, he watches over you and your life. This all powerful, creator God is aware of all that is going on in my world and he will not fail.
