I Will Lift My Eyes

I love Psalm 121. It is one I have read over and over. When Hannah went to school, I claimed this Psalm for her, and over the years at different crossroads of her life have prayed it for her. Today, I prayed it for myself.

I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade on your right hand.
The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.

I am not a business woman, never have wanted to be a career woman. I have always loved being a homemaker, taking care of my hubby and girls. I love the freedom being a homemaker brings, to do the things I want to do, when I want to do them. But, that is not what I have been call to do right now. I have been called to be the breadwinner for myself. I don't like it, I struggle with it, but it is what it is. Which is why I prayed this Psalm for myself this morning. I have big stuff to do today for my business, decisions, working on my website, placing a tea order... I need the Lords help. I need His wisdom, and guidance and protection. I don't want to mess this up. I don't have a business brain, I have a 'I'm going to make tea and go create something' brain. My comfort in all this is the fact that, even though I don't like being a business woman, I know God has directed me to this place. I know He has brought specific people into my life to help me with aspects of business, I know nothing about. Therefore, I know I will be able to do this thing.

He has promised to keep me, to protect me, to not allow my foot to slip, to guard my coming in and going out. Therefore, I will lift my eyes.
