Even though we are inundated with problems, God gives security to those who trust in him.

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
Where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
3 Your foot will not slip,
Nor will He who watches over you slumber.

Psalm 121:1-3

In this psalm, we describe in detail the security David found in the Lord. We can also discover and better understand the security we also enjoy in Christ Jesus.
The psalmist speaks of lifting up our eyes to where the Lord comes, the place from which our help comes. In David's time, those who lived in the mountains were robbers who stalked and attacked travelers. As a shepherd, David knew every detail of the mountains and the places where he tended his sheep very well. In these mountains, there were robbers and also animals that stalked his sheep. Our lives may be going through a similar moment, but just as the psalmist describes, the Lord Jesus Christ is our help and is the one who has the ability to guard and protect us completely.
This text also says that our foot will not slip. This means that God has provided absolutely everything we need to avoid slipping, to avoid walking in sin. We have the Holy Spirit of God that guides us in every step and gives us the power to overcome. The Word of God illuminates every step of our lives so that we do not fall. God has everything to sustain us and allow us to walk faithfully in His ways.
