Psalm 121

Hmmm, just thinking ... does the state of this blog reflect the state of my relationship with God?
I should like to say no, am still in love with Him, but somewhere in my conscience I know things could be a lot better.
As I was praying in church on Sunday, the Lord placed Psalm 121 on my heart. Immediately after the prayer the announcer asked us to read the very same psalm. I knew then that God was calling my attention to it.

Psalm 121
A Song of Ascents.
 1I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah]--From whence shall my help come?
    2My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
    3He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who keeps you will not slumber.
    4Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
    5The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield].
    6The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
    7The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life.
    8The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
