A Song For Any Day
"The psalmist had done what all of us tend to do when we are in trouble; he looked every place but the right place. He had tried everything but the right thing. He had asked every person but the right person. He had found every avenue a dead-end street. The Message translates verses 1 and 2 this way.
"I look up to the mountains; does my strength come from mountains? No, my strength comes from GOD, who made heaven, and earth, and mountains." (Psalms 121:1-2; MSG)
"One thing that is common to every person and every institution on earth is that we have problems. The home faces problems. The church has problems. Our government has problems. Our nation has deep problems. I am convinced too often that we are looking to all the wrong places for the solutions to the problems.
"We think if we have a great economy it will solve all of our problems, but it won't. If we can put a conservative President and a conservative Congress in office we will solve all of our problems, but it won't. Too often the reason why people never solve their problems is because they look to the wrong place for solutions.
"Listen again to verse 2.
"My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth." (Psalms 121:2, NASB)
"Can you imagine anyone you had rather have as your helper than the God who created this universe? Think about a God that is higher than the hills, mightier than the mountains, above all the armies and greater than all the generals."
