Ubelievably Personal

Oh my goodness...its as if God actually knows EVERYTHING that is going on in my life, and in my thoughts.. =) Pslam 121 in its entirety has been a real encouragement in the recent past...one of those Chapters in the Bible that I have referred to over and over in my heart...with hope. But there are so many times when I have thought, "is that REALLY GOD's word to meeeee?" Well....

“He will not suffer thy foot to be moved.”
Ps. 121:3.


IF the Lord will not suffer it, neither men nor devils can do it. How greatly would they rejoice if they could give us a disgraceful fall, drive us from our position, and bury us out of memory! They could do this to their hearts’ content were it not for one hindrance, and only one: the Lord will not suffer it; and if he does not suffer it, we shall not suffer it.
The way of life is like travelling among the Alps. Along mountain paths one is constantly exposed to the slipping of the foot. Where the way is high the head is apt to swim, and then the feet soon slide: there are spots which are smooth as glass, and others that are rough with loose stones, and in either of these a fall is hard to avoid. He who throughout life is enabled to keep himself upright and to walk without stumbling has the best of reasons for gratitude. What with pitfalls and snares, weak knees, weary feet, and subtle enemies, no child of God would stand fast for an hour were it not for the faithful love which will not suffer his foot to be moved.

“Amidst a thousand snares I stand
Upheld and guarded by thy hand;
That hand unseen shall hold me still,
And lead me to thy holy hill.”
