The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore.
– Psalm 121:8

The Lord, our helper, is the one on whom we need to keep our focus. It may not always feel like it, especially in the times during this past year when we have felt isolated at home. Yet, God has been watching over us. We have made it this far, we have survived to this day, and we have reason to give God praise.

It’s hard to believe that this week last year, was the last that felt ‘normal,’ it was the last week, before this deadly pandemic took hold of our lives. There has been many times it seemed like life would never resume. Yet, the psalmist reminds us that when we lift our eyes to heavens, we see the Lord who is our help, watching over our movements. I’ve thought about the 121st psalm quite a bit this past year, and in this final verse of this short psalm, we are reminded that as we keep our focus on God’s help, he is watching over us. As we may start to go out a little more, I pray that we will continue to do our part to be safe, keep others safe, and know that God is with us every step of the way.

Grace & Peace,
Sam
