Psalm 121:1-2

Read Psalm 121:1-2.

1.  The discipline (v. 1) > "I will . . ."

2.  The direction (v. 1) > "I will lift up . . ." (not down, not around)

3.  The distraction (v. 1) > " . . . to the mountains . . ."

4.  The decision (v. 1) > "From where shall my help come?"

  • You need help.  
  • You will seek help from somewhere or someone.
  • Who or what will be your help?
5.  The declaration (v. 2) > "My help comes from the Lord . . . ."  Why?
  • I ask for it.
  • I expect it.
  • I rejected all inferior or deceptive forms of help.
6.  The defense (v. 2) > " . . . Who made heaven and earth."
  • What is your reason for choosing the Lord as your helper?
    • He is the Creator (and Sustainer) of all things. That's some capability!
