Psalm 121 is a brief, yet beautiful psalm written to encourage weary pilgrims as they face the many dangers and uncertainties that threaten to undo us on the journey of life. Though the road home to heaven is a hard one, Psalm 121 reminds God’s people that we are not alone on this journey. The Lord helps his people walk this road by protecting them every step of the way home, even in death, just as he protected his Son. If Christ is your ever-keeping protection, then God’s got you—now and forever.
