Psalm 121

A song of ascents.
 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
   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.

These verses are just perfect for me right now. Stephanie and I are on our first day of vacation. Our vacations can be very adventurous. We always take a long motorcycle trip. This year we are heading out west for nearly three weeks. We have gone on 7 of these and 2 of them we have had some major mechanical problems. But, God has always brought us through every trial. He certainly has watched over us. Even though these problems have been stressful, we have never been harmed.

My life has been the same way. I have had some stressful times, but I have never been harmed. God has watched over us and protected me and my family. I don't know how people survive without God in their lives. I can't imagine going through job issues, illness, loss, and family stresses without my savior.

I am excited about this trip with my wife and my God. I love adventure. I know God will be with me. I'm no different than anyone else, I don't want to have stress in my life, but I am so happy to have a great savior who loves me, protects me, and watches over me. Praise God he does!
