Psalm 121:¹⁾ If I raise my eyes to the hills,

from where will my help come?

² My help comes from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip — your guardian is not asleep.

⁴ No, the guardian of Isra’el never slumbers or sleeps.

⁵ Adonai is your guardian; at your right hand

Adonai provides you with shade —

⁶ the sun can’t strike you during the day or even the moon at night.

⁷ Adonai will guard you against all harm; he will guard your life.

⁸ Adonai will guard your coming and going from now on and forever.

Traveling back home to my second home New Jersey to celebrate my sister friend, (my son’s godmother) by train yesterday, I took in the beauty of the rivers, lakes, mountains, and all of nature. The beautiful landscapes are awe inspiring and I reflected on the majesty of Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth.

With the World Cup in NY, Amtrak had warned it would be a crowded train, and with the high temperatures they would have to slow down. I had many warnings about safety. The train had started 40 minutes late due to having to wait for a connecting train, however by the time it got to Richmond it was on time. I boarded the train with a lovely group of women heading on a girls’ trip. I walked onto the train and was given the second seat where I sat the entire ride alone, quietly and peacefully. Not once did we have delay, problems, or sudden stops. We did not miss any of the scheduled times, arriving on time to NJ. Standing to disembark I began talking to the kind young conductor and the Most High allowed Him to say, “Since the NBA finals and now the World Cup(game was happening at that time at the MetLife Stadium in NJ) this is the first calm and incident free ride we have had; and I am grateful.” I smiled and thanked him for confirming what the Most High had said to me before boarding the train. Holy Spirit had said, “Your trip will be one of ease and calm. Take your time and all will be well. The LORD has gone before you!” I share this Family, because there is an attempt to make us fear travel and crowds when large events gather due to the violence and chaos that can occur. But, when the Most High says go, Go! Why? Psalm 121:7-8 verses answer the why beautifully. They say, “7 Adonai will guard you against all harm; he will guard your life. 8 Adonai will guard your coming and going from now on and forever.”

We are His children, and the same G-d who created the splendor and beauty of the earth, is in full control over everything and everyone one on earth! HalleluYAH! All praise to the Most High G-d!

I close with this, the Most High knows what He is doing! He is still sending out His disciples into the vineyard. Trust His plan and walk out your path today. If He asks you to go, say Yes Lord and Go!

Live and walk on purpose Family. Grab the motto my sister friend has claimed for this year of her life, “Expect more!”

Shalom Aleichem.
