Homilist Psalm 121:1-8 I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help.… I. HIS ATTITUDE. 1. God is the only true help of the soul. He alone can raise it from its fallen condition, break its fetters, heal its wounds, energize its faculties, and set it on a course safe and prosperous. 2. To Him the godly soul instinctively looks in trial. The worldly man in trial looks to earthly things for succour and support, to social sympathies, to human friendships, to Church officers, but the good man turns at once to God, feels that from Him alone the necessary help can come. II. HIS PROTECTOR. 1. The universal Creator. 2. A sleepless Guardian. 3. The all-sufficient. III. HIS CONFIDENCE (ver. 7). (Homilist.)
