My dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of Psalms 121:8, “The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth and even for evermore.”
My dear children of God , The Bible says, that the Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in. God made man in His own image. Therefore He is mindful of you. God is mindful of us. Have you wondered what God thinks about you? The Psalmist says, Lord what is man that You are mindful of him? And the son of man that You should visit him? You have made him a little lower than the angels, and you have crowned him with glory and honour. You have made him to have dominion over the works of your hands. You have put all things under his feet. God made man that he might glorify Him. So God is interested in the welfare of man. He cares for mankind. He is much concerned about his going out and his coming in. God wants to set man high above all nations, who obey his commandments. He says, You shall be blessed in the city and you shall be blessed in the country. You shall be blessed when you come in and you shall be blessed when you go out. Now all this is possible when you obey the voice of the Lord your God to observe carefully all the commandments.
God expects His children to rely on Him completely, because He is Ebenezer. who helps His children in times of difficulties. Ebenezer means “Thus far the Lord has helped us.”You need to trust in the faithfulness of God. You must trust Him or depend upon Him for your very existence. Humbly depending upon God gives way to labour, industry, and productivity that can change the world. God always wants to help His children. For it is written: “’He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully. So the Psalmist encourages the children to look up to God who is the provider and helper. God is our keeper. So He says, I will lift up my eyes from whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.
We need to look up to the hills from where our help comes. God is willing to help us provided we look up to Him. For He is Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. He is the first and the last. When we pin our hope on Him He will descend upon us, and help us even in the worst situation. Until today may be all things have been going wrong with you. You might have been a failure in every step you take. You might have failed in your interview, or in the business you undertake. You might have received a bad report about your health. But from this moment God is going to help you. He is going to change your sorrow into joy. As you look up to God who made the heaven and the earth God will command his angels, concerning you to guard you carefully. He will guide you in all your ways, and make you successful.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You Lord because You take pleasure in helping your children. You send your angels as spirits to attend on your children. Help them to realize how important it is to depend upon You. May they look up to you who made the heaven and earth for their help. Make all their failures turn into success. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
