Day 121...(Deuteronomy 29; Psalm 121)..."A Message to Hold Near"

Psalm 121 is also one of my favorite. I find myself reciting it at memorial services and at times of transition. The Lord does not sleep. He does watch over our coming in and going out. In all of life, we are to "lift up our eyes to the hills, from whence our help does come." "Our help comes from the Lord the Maker of Heaven and Earth!"

In Deuteronomy Israel is reminded to keep the covenant. If we they do not, God's judgment will come. A covenant of blessing or curse continues to be a theme of our reading. Deuteronomy keeps this theme of "what part don't you understand" in the message.
