Psalm 121 King James Version (KJV)
121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
This is so spot on to my current situation which is economically very uncomfortable. I wonder often why the Lord allows or perhaps requires us to go through these times. Perhaps it’s to help us develop our empathy but surely we needn’t suffer every crappy thing that has happened to every human being ourselves. I lack the courage to help others when I am unsure my own needs will be met and I seem to have difficulty developing the faith I need to know that they will. Sometimes it’s difficult to separate needs from wants.
