The Good and The Bad

Scripture: Psalm 121 Key Verse: 121:1-2
I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help? My help comes from the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.

Objective:
Psalm 121 is a praise song written about the power and protection of God.

Application:
Sometimes when we are in a low place surrounded by what feels like giant mountains, we look up and wonder where we may find a break, or some help. This song makes it clear that we can depend on God for the help we need. The last phrase of verse 2 says, "the maker of heaven and earth." The author knows who God is and attributes all the good to Him.

Its important that we depend on God not only in the hard valley times, but also when we are on the peak of the mountain. When everything seems to be going well. If God will see you through the bad times, He will bless you with the good.

Prayer:
God thank you for my wife and family. Thank you for everything that is good in my life. Thank you for turning the bad things into learning situations. Thank you for the protection from the bad stuff. Help us to be a people that understand that you are there in the good and bad times.
