Dangers all around.

Rottenness lurking within.

How shall I keep myself from all and every evil?

How shall I be what I ought to be?

“The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul” (7).

Oh, good!

We Are Not Alone!

But surely I have a part to play and a life to live, no?

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help” (1).

My life needs to be a Eyes Lifted Up to God life.

In other words, my life needs to be God-focused.

If my vision is downward and my hearing is downward and my thinking is downward, how shall my living be God-ward?

And how shall the Lord preserve me?

Lord, help me do what’s hard for me to do these days — look upward, to you.

(And help me turn away from what pulls me downward.)
