[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 121]] ## Title: Where Do You Go When It Matters? ## Scripture: (Psalm 121:1-3) “A song of ascents. I look up toward the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. May he not allow your foot to slip. May your Protector not sleep.” (NET) ## Observation: When my girls were little, they both went through a season where they wanted to do everything themselves. They didn’t want any help. One of my daughters would get so angry if we tried to do anything for her and yell out, “Me do it. Me do it.” She was determined to be self-sufficient. My wife and I had to struggle not to laugh at this little girl who was completely reliant on us yet thought she was completely independent. Also, all the independence would melt away as soon as she would get hurt. I often wonder if God looks at us like that. We live in His world, breathe His air, and experience His goodness all around us. Yet, we try to act like we can do anything independently of Him. What matters even more is what happens when something goes wrong. Where do we truly turn? God invites us to look to Him. He will hold us up. He will help us walk through any dark valley. He is already with us more than we realize. ## Application: Get God involved before you have to. He’s already there. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us and having more kindness than we can imagine.
