God's Holy & Wise Preserving

Why does the Psalmist say that he is lifting up his eyes to the mountains or the hills? It is because they are representative of the strength, the majesty, the power of God to be his helper. All of our real help comes from the Lord. It is He who has made heaven and earth, and because of that He can also help you. Notice all that God does by His Divine Providence in these verses. He will not allow your foot to slip or be moved. He will keep you and He will not slumber or sleep. He will be your shade at your right hand in protection from all the forces of nature, all the schemes of the Devil, all the plans and actions of persecuting men, all the forces that false religion will bring against you. He shall preserve you from all evil, and He will preserve or keep your soul. He will watch over you and preserve you whenever you go out and come in, and wherever you go out and come in, from this time forth, and forever. Now that, is comforting to know.
