Exactly One Week....

It has been exactly one week since I have posted anything on the blog. I am truly sorry! We just received internet connection for the computer yesterday. However, I am so excited I have only missed my quiet time with God ONCE! The past week has been C-R-A-Z-Y! Unloading boxes...arranging furniture...filling drawers...organizing closets...It is amazing how much you can accumulate over a short period of time.

I would like to share with you this morning Psalm 121. The devil got the best of me over the past couple of days. Richard was working and I was home alone with our son. We do not have anything covering the front windows yet. There are blinds all across the back, but not the front. Some of the windows look beautiful from the street without anything on them, but I need something on the windows for security purposes.

I was unpacking boxes and my brain kept thinking of all these horrible things. I called it a night and went to bed. I did not sleep well as it is a new house and I am in unfamiliar territory. The next morning I woke up and read Psalm 121. If only I would have opened my bible right then (when I was scared), then I would have slept in peace. Why is it so hard to go to God with our problems at that moment? Especially when you need him the most...

Psalm 121 is assurance in God's protection.

Psalm 121
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills—

where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip—

he who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you—

the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm—

he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore.

I had chill bumps the next morning after reading verses 5-8. God will watch over our lives! God will watch over us no matter if we are coming and going! I promise to pray Psalm 121 whenever I am scared of not being protected. We can always depend on God. I encourage you to pray this same verse! Have a wonderful day!
