Help Comes From Beyond Us

Psalm 121:1-2
I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
Some days the hills in front of us look too steep to climb. The psalmist does not pretend otherwise. He lifts his eyes and asks the honest question, and then he answers it. Our help does not come from our own strength or from a better plan. It comes from the One who made the hills. Name the thing that feels too tall today, and let it be held by the One who is taller.
Today’s prayer
Maker of heaven and earth, I lift my eyes to you. Be my help where I cannot manage. Amen.
