My soul clings to you,Your right hand upholds me.
Its effect on our lives
Strong Tower
We have seen that Christ saves us and sanctifies us. So how do we respond?. . . By faith.
Psalm 121
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in.”
We do not look to ourselves for anything. We look to God for everything.
Where is your faith?
Who do you depend on to live the Christian walk, to keep your going out and your coming in, to keep your life?
Who do depend on to fight sin, to minister, to fight the fight of the faith?
Do you believe that He is your strong tower?
Additional readings: Psalms (all of them), The Psalms are a good place to learn about faith.
Matthew 8:23-27
“And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?””
