12/29/2025 – Psalm 121 – “The Lord Our Protector”
The Eyes of Jehoshaphat
Monday, December 29, 2025
In the battle of Jehoshaphat, the people of God are in what appears to be a hopeless situation – outmanned and out-armed. They pray: “We are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us. And we don’t know what to do – but our eyes are on You.” Notice that they don’t avoid dealing with the problem. They are fully aware of the situation. But the key is – they don’t keep their focus on it. They don’t know what to do, BUT! There’s the key. They don’t have to know what to do or how to figure it out. They just have to get their eyes on the Lord, who does. That means they had to get their eyes off their problems, and they had a lot of problems to get their eyes off of. But if they could get their eyes off of the attacking army and onto God – then how much more can you get your eyes off of your problem and onto God. You don’t have to know what to do, BUT… do one thing – get your eyes on Him who does.
From Message #817 – The Jehoshaphat Guide To Victory I
Scripture: Psalm 121:1,2

“I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth… The LORD will protect you from all hard; He will protect your life. The LORD will protect your coming and goin both now and forever.” Psalm 121
Commentary 121: 1-2: “The psalmist was contemplating (“I raise my eyes”) the dangerous journey (“toward the mountains”) and was concerned for his safety (“Where will my help come from?”. Alternatively, he thought of the mountains as sites for the worship of pagan deities, who were no help to anyone. He supplied his own answer: The one who made all things, including the hills, was his Protector.” Apologetics Study Bible
