I lift my eyes to the hills

Psalms 121

1 I lift up my eyes to the hills- where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip- he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you- the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The LORD will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life;

8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and for evermore.

From the hospital window, I could see the Mountain. This morning as I read this passage, my beloved are at the foothill of the mountain. 

As the people who live a short distance from this mountain, we look up to this mountain a lot, in fact, everyday. We take prides in the glorious sunrise and sunset it gives us. The whole city background is this mountain and it never fail to mesmerize us with its magnificent views. We do not get bored with its majesty, in fact, we cannot have enough of it. 

When we face difficulty in life, we feel that the mountain is a blockage, a challenge to overcome, then we need someone bigger than The Mountain, to be our help. Our very present help, in times of trouble.
