As with yesterday, Psalm 121 is a Psalm of Ascent. I want to name this psalm a psalm of ascent and perspective! As the psalmist travels up the mountain, symbolising a journey towards God, they look towards the vastness of the hills and know that in the place of God’s presence is the help they need. When we are looking for help, remembering that God is the maker of heaven and earth is extremely helpful. There is no challenge that we can face that God will not understand. The maker of heaven and earth desires to be extraordinarily close to each one of us. God, when we face situations where we feel misunderstood and alone would you be with us? Help us to lift our eyes and gain your perspective in all things.
