ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
August 7, 2020

Guest Writer
: Rev. Mariah Newell
Scripture: Psalm 121: v. 1-2
I lift up my eyes to the mountains--
where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

Thought for the Day: This Psalm is hands down my favorite Psalm, and actually, will always be a favorite Scripture. When I was upset as a kid I would play Bible “Magic 8 Ball” with myself. When I wanted an answer, when I needed guidance, when I felt alone, I would open up my Bible and see what verse my eyes were drawn to and see what God might be saying to me. Now, it didn’t always “work” in the sense, I didn’t always find an immediate answer or the perfect answer for what I was feeling. However, I remember the night I found this verse was the comfort I was aching for. I was a teenager and this Psalm reminded me God cares about me. God wants to help me. I am not alone. I also find comfort that this Psalm, though deeply personal and just a Psalmist thought and prayer, is universal and this truth is extended to all. God cares about you. God wants to help you. You are not alone. So, it may seem hokey to you, but I would invite you to play a game of Bible “Magic 8 Ball.” Who knows what God is anxious to tell us!

Prayer:
Maker of Heaven and Earth,
Open my heart this day to your voice found in Scripture. I know my help comes from you, but today I need a reminder. You made me and know my heart. Come alongside me as I dive into your Word to hear what you need me to hear this day. Comfort me. Disrupt me. Heal me. It is in Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
