Summer In The Psalms: Where Does Your Help Come From

Jim Keena | Guest Speaker | June 29, 2025

Referenced Scripture: Psalms 121:1-8, Luke 2:41-42

Reflection Questions:
1. When you were a child, who did you naturally turn to for help? What did that teach you about trust?

2. Read Psalm 121 aloud together. Which phrases or verses stood out to you, and why?

3. The psalm begins with a question: “Where does my help come from?” How would most people you know answer that? How do you respond?

4. In verse 2, the Psalmist answers his question: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” How does knowing God as the Creator affect your confidence in Him?

5. The psalm describes God as one who “will not slumber” and who “watches over” His people constantly. What does this reveal about God’s character? Is that how we usually think of God’s involvement in our daily lives?

6. The repeated phrase “watch over” (six times) emphasizes ongoing care. How have you experienced God’s watchful care recently, even if it wasn’t immediately obvious?

7. When have you been tempted to seek help from sources other than God, like people, money, control, or escape? What was the outcome?

8. Is there a particular situation in your life right now where you need to reaffirm that your help comes from the Lord? How can this group support and pray for you?
