I Look to the Hills

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. 
                                           --Psalm 121:5-8

You can go to Biblegateway.com and search for Psalm 121.  The entire Psalm is a short, beautiful affirmation of God's presence.  Click on the picture to make it big and just enjoy the sunrise and in the pink/purple light behind Mt Rainier.  Spend a few minutes just thinking about this:

"Look to Me, and be saved...."   (- Isaiah 45:22)

Saved from what?  From what has God saved you?  I think we assume some eternal cosmic thing when we hear the words, "be saved," and while it is that, there is also a daily, even hourly or minute by minute saving going on -- look for those moments too: how God gets you through/saves you day to day.  Journal your answers to "look to Me, and be saved..." saving me from what? If you're of a mind to post your thoughts here under comments, you're welcome to do that.

Prayer:
Lord, you save us from something every minute of every day.  Help us rejoice for all 525,600 minutes each year that you walk alongside us.  In Christ's name, Amen.
