The purpose of these notes is to encourage us to lift our eyes above our daily trials and disappointments Òunto the hills, from whence cometh my helpÓ (Psalm 121:1); that is, to the sure promises of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is good for us to be reminded daily that we have an Almighty Òfriend that sticketh closer than a brotherÓ (Proverb 18:24), who will Ònever leave thee, nor forsake theeÓ (Hebrews 13:5).
