Psalm 121 has more promises for us! Verses 2-8:
2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber. 4 Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield]. 6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. 8 The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
When we trust and rely on the LORD, HE has promised that He will not allow us to slip or fall! In fact, Psalm 55:22 makes it even more clear!
22 Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). [1 Peter 5:7.] AMP
AMEN! Psalm 121 goes on to say that He, the LORD, will keep us! This is the Hebrew word "shamar", which means: to hedge about, to guard, to protect, to attend to, to observe, to take care of! All of this was promised to the nation of Israel, IF they would honor the LORD their God and serve ONLY Him! That does NOT seem like too much to ask, given all the miraculous things that the LORD had done for them up to this point! How soon many of them forgot! The same is true today! We have a BETTER Covenant than they had, because it is based on better promises! THEY were looking forward to the Savior Who was to come! Their faith in that ONE Who had yet to come gave them this favor with God! How much more will He "keep" His own people, His children? Thank YOU, JESUS! HALLELUJAH! AMEN!
