Bible Commentary

Psalms 121:2

The answer to the question arrives with confidence: help comes from the Lord who created all things. If He made the hills, He is far greater than the hills — and more than able to help.

Memory phrase: My help comes from the Lord!

Talk about it: Can you think of something God made that shows how powerful He is?

Prayer: God, You made everything — I know You can help me with anything I face today.
