Scripture Reading
Read Psalm 121 and reflect on the passage.
When I read Psalm 121, I envision myself rock climbing. I’ve never been climbing in my life, but I know safety is a top priority. The only way to be successful and reach the summit is to first prepare. So, I googled “What equipment is needed to rock climb?” Number one was a good pair of sticky, rubber-soled shoes, which directly connects with verse 3 – He will not let your foot slip. How comforting to know as we are making our way up the mountain of life, God is there to watch over us.

Other necessary equipment includes a harness and rope, but
not just regular rope – dynamic rope. Of course, God’s rope would be dynamic!
But something I noticed wasn’t on the list, sunscreen. No one wants to get a
nasty sunburn while climbing, Like verses 5 and 6 say, "The Lord is your shade; the sun will not harm you by day."
God’s protection is greater than any SPF available. Harmful rays won’t get
through if you put on Christ each day.
Questions
What
equipment do you use in your journey up life’s mountain?
Does
Christ serve as your sunscreen, climbing shoes, harness and dynamic rope?
Prayer
Lord, You are the ultimate protection during life’s climb.
Thank You for watching over my coming and going both now and forevermore. Amen.
