Ashes-Capsule(5)

Psalm 121:5:“The Lord is your keeper,the Lord is your shade by the right hand”

 

Thought1:Keeping things in a perfect order is a difficult task..we try to “keep” our belongings safe..in our homes we put gates,walls,grills to KEEP us and Our belongings safe. Here the Psalmist encourages us by telling..THE LORD IS YOUR KEEPER. He values you.He keeps you…Many a time we find it so difficult to “KEEP” ourselves.The pain in our body,anxious mind,troubled hearts,broken dreams,shattered hopes……..We find it so difficult to keep ourselves.But then through this capsule let me ask you to eat this truth..HE IS YOUR KEEPER…Isaiah says in chapter 26 and verse 3..”THOU WOULD KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE WHOSE MINDS ARE STAYED ON THEE”…

 

Thought2.The second part of this small verse talks about the SHADE God gives us by being at our right hand……The psalmist imagines to be in wilderness,where  he walks in the hot sun..where he looks for some shade to rest under..the journey is long..the way before seems to be so puzzling..!!!Then God inspires His senses..YOU have  shade to rest under and its by your right hand..You just need to open the “UMBRELLA” and rest.Yes the tedious journey in the wilderness demands us to have a shade at our right hand..DOnt look for Temperory trees along the way…don’t expect there trees to travel with you all the way…ALWAYS HAVE THIS ASSURANCE THAT WHEN THESE TREES HAVE THEIR LIMITATIONS IN LOCOMOTION..we have a locomotary shade……by our right hand..You just need to rest under His shelter….

 

Introspection

1)Were there times that you could not “keep” yourselves??

2)Have you looked on to the “temperory trees” that provide shade for sometime and lost sight of the shade by your right hand???

 

Application

1)Stay close to your keeper,so that He can keep YOU properly

2)Rest in His presence…He is your shade so close by your right hand..
