3 He will not let your foot be moved;
he who keeps you will not slumber.
4 He who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
Prayer Focus: Our help comes from the Lord. We lift up our eyes to the hills and see that God is before us, behind us, within us, and surrounding us. The promise is not that nothing bad will ever happen – that is not the witness of scripture at all! No, the promise is that whatever may come, the Lord will not abandon us to face it alone. We will seek to “lift up” this promise as we begin our pilgrimage and stewardship journey. In all that we are and all that we give, we respond to God who has already given everything to us in Jesus Christ.
“The promise of the psalm – and both Hebrews and Christians have always read it this way – is not that we shall never stub our toes, but that no injury, no illness, no accident, no distress will have evil power over us, that is, will be able to separate us from God’s purposes in us.” Peterson, 36.
