Saturday Psalm & Praise: Psalm 121: 7,8
"The LORD will keep you from all harm, he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and for evermore." (Psalm 121:7 & 8)
 Our God is a strong and mighty tower. He is able to deliver His people. He is watching over my life: my coming and my going, as well as the coming and going of our children.
When you are on the tail-end of a two-week-long bout with winter colds, sore throats and hacking coughs, it is a comfort to know God is able. Period. He is able. When tears come because of your toddler's fever and your own lack of sleep, and the baby who never even whimpers is crying and having trouble sleeping, I can have a peace.
When circumstances change family relationships or jobs; when friendships or even daily life is forever altered, we can hold onto Him who will keep us from all harm and is watching over our coming and our going. Life is a constant change. For the Believer, it must be. We must constantly allow God to shape and mold us, chipping away at the things that keep us from Him, showing us what we need to know.
The year 2007 brought so many changes into our lives. Good changes. Unexpected changes that God is surely in. As we left 2007 and entered into 2008, changes were still happening. It is a natural thing. It is not always an easy thing, but usually a necessary one. I hope in 2008 that I can hold onto this blessing from Psalms. I hope I can remember as we move or stay here that He is watching over our coming and our going. As we grow and allow God to direct our steps, making plans He may change, I am thankful God has shown me this promise in His Word.
We serve a mighty God. It is sometimes hard to praise Him only on His merits alone, because He has so enveloped us in His Word and His very being as His own. Thank you Lord for undeserved mercy, love and grace.
blessings!

I hope you are all feeling better soon! It is definitely a comfort to know and rest in the fact that God is indeed in control and watching over you.
It is a time of growing closer and depending on Him more.
Though it is never fun at the time, you will look back and see God's hand at work.
