Look To The Hills
July 10, 2014
Read: Psalm 121
Atop Corcovado Mountain overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, stands Christ the Redeemer, one of the tallest statues of Christ in the world. Standing 30 meters tall, with arms spreading 28 meters, this sculpture weighs 635 metric tons. It can be seen day or night from almost anywhere in the city. One look to the hills brings this figure of Christ the Redeemer into view.
The New Testament tells us that Christ is not only the Redeemer, but He is also the Creator of the universe, and that Creator is in view in Psalm 121. There the psalmist challenges us to lift our eyes to the hills to see God, for our help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth (vv.1-2). He alone is sufficient to be our strength and to guide our steps as we make our way through a dangerous and troubled world.
We lift our eyes to the One who keeps us (v.3), guards us (vv.5-6), and overshadows us in the face of all types of danger. He preserves us from evil and keeps us safely in His care for all eternity (vv.7-8).
In faith, we lift our eyes to the One who is our Redeemer and Creator. He is our help and our hope and our eternal home.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home! Watts
Christ was lifted up that He might lift us up.
The superscription for Psalm 121 is A Song of Ascents. This designation is actually given to the collection of psalms that includes Psalms 120134. Called a psalter within the psalter by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, these songs were sung by Jewish pilgrims making their way to Jerusalem for the three primary feast times of the year. The reason for calling them songs of ascent is that Jerusalem is the highest point in Israel, so people going to Jerusalem were always going up.

To: Kathy in Alaska
I burst through the Sally Port this morning as the Angelus Bell was ringing. A very fast commute in. Today's thunderstorms hit about 4:30 - My homeward trip was arduous and circuitous - major accidents on both of my routes of choice.
I'm feeling somewhat better today - still fatigued - I'll retire for the evening shortly.

Good evening, ML!
*HUGS*
After the Derecho of last evening we had a reprise this afternoon - but only an echo. That didn't stop the Road Warriors from wreaking mayhem on the evening commute. :)

None of my two-wheel escapades could compare. When I was still in High School I had a Benelli 125cc - 2 cycle, of course - that I used to run up to Annapolis from my home in Silver Spring - about 35 miles over back roads. Some beautiful Autumn afternoons on the road to and from my Uncle Jack Dowd's - and my favorite Aunt, Virginia Gavin Dowd.
Sadly, the roads through which I used to wend on that trek are either gone or utterly changed. No more two-lane country roads - no more one-lane bridges in this area.
Uncle Jack and Aunt Virginia have gone to their well-earned rest in the Bosom of the Lord and I am now the Senior member of my extended family.
Thank the Lord for the guidance, example and love they, and so many of my family, have bestowed upon me.
Much of what I am now hinges upon the lessons I learned as an adolescent trekking up the back-roads of central Maryland on a small bike half a century ago.
