God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

Leviticus 23:22 & Psalms 121                   Common English Bible

Leviticus 23 verse 22

 When you harvest your land's produce, you must not harvest all the way to the edge of your field; and don't gather every remaining bit of your harvest. Leave these items for the poor and the immigrant; I am the LORD your God.

Psalm 121

¹ I raise my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from?

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

³ God won't let your foot slip. Your protector won't fall asleep on the job.

⁴ No! Israel's protector never sleeps or rests!

⁵ The LORD is your protector; the LORD is your shade right beside you.

⁶ The sun won't strike you during the day; neither will the moon at night.

⁷ The LORD will protect you from all evil; God will protect your very life.

⁸ The LORD will protect you on your journeys— whether going or coming— from now until forever from now.
