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.

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.
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.

he will watch over your life;

both now and forevermore. Psalm 121:1-8

I have some good news for you. The government of your country is not your source. The politicians in Washington, regardless of the party label they carry, are not the answer to our problems. The bills and laws which are submitted to congress for approval or rejection, will never save you.
I do not like to see all the turmoil our country is experiencing, and I certainly do not have all the answers, but I do know our God will never shut down his grace, his mercy, nor his love for us. That is why the psalmist would write words which encourage us to our place our confidence and dependence on God, especially in times of trouble.
Today I will pray, like every day, with full assurance God will hear and answer.
Today I will trust, like every day, in his direction for my life.
Today I will help, like every day, those who are hungry or hurting.
Today I will look, like every day, for opportunities to share my faith.
Today I will share, like every day, a kind word, a good deed, or a caring concern for someone who needs me.
Today I will be aware, like every day, of the presence of the Holy Spirit living in me, to lead, and direct me in right paths.
Today I will be thankful, like every day, to my Lord, Jesus, for giving his life to pay for my sins.
Things may be getting very serious for our country and its future. I will pray for America and her leaders to turn and seek the face of God as they lead us through these times.
But, at all times, I yearn for all to know, " My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."
