Listen to the words of Psalm 121...
I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from?
I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from?
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
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 forevermore.
David Benner concludes,
"The God I am trying to orient my attention to is a God whose attention is continually on me. He never sleeps, nor does he get tired, now or forevermore! My attention to him is not needed to make him take note of me. It is merely a way of increasing consciousness of his loving, constant, attention to me..."
