As I meditated and
reflected upon Psalm 121 in my Advent’s reading, I give thanks to God that the
Psalmist writer encourages us to “look up” to the LORD being our Helper and
Maker (Psalm 121:1–2, NIV). Truly, I praise the LORD to know that He is the One
who watches over us ((Psalm 121:3, NIV), and that He guides and protects us through
our coming in and going out (Psalm 121:5–8, NIV).
This Advent season,
I thank the LORD for reminding me that I can always “look up” to Him as
the source of my hope in times of my helplessness
transforming my despair to expectation found in Christ and that He is my Helper
and Maker (Psalm 121:1, NIV) who sees me through all the days of my life. Truly,
things can distract us easily by all kinds of celebrations during this season and
the expectations of others, yet I believe that we got to focus on the
expectations and hope found in God being our Helper and Maker as we look up to
Him this season too.
Are you looking up to
God’s promises this season for the expectation and hope that He is giving you
today?
Prayer Response to this featured article:
Father, lift our
eyes up to you as our “Lord the Maker of heaven and earth” as we grip onto
your promises in our lives today.
