My help comes from the Lord

Dear friend,
I was recently going through the book of Psalm 121 and was struck at the lovely words it begins with:
I look unto the hills- where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord the Maker of heaven and earth.(NIV)
The question that puzzled me is why the hills? I am quickly answered by the idea of the hills that surround Zion; they are a protector, a symbol of strength, power and might. As well in the geography on the hills and their accompanying slopes are lush green, the kind of place good pasture and food would be. Anyone would immediately conclude that this is too greater a wager to make, what could possibly top the hunger and deep need for good pasture cool shade and the feel of a nice breeze after kilometers upon kilometers even possibly days of going without these very things?
I was struck by David’s conclusion that he saw the hills with all their promise to give his sheep and himself a good rest and satisfaction yet He was even more confident and content and in the love of God; so much as to say; my help comes from God… that is a heart hungry for God and a mind fully convinced of the great love of God and fulfillment and satisfaction being found in no one but Jesus Christ. His help is more certain and sure!
...Jesus you are my hope and stay...
lord I need you
O I need you
Every hour I need you
my one defense
my righteousness
O lord how I need you.

Let this song be the cry of our hearts. For the hunger, thirst for other things let an even deeper need subsist for God! This is what we have been called to my friend. please purpose today to desire and long for more of the LORD!
yours faithfully 
MIGUUBEAUTIFUL.
