A Christian businessman who had suffered heavy losses was tempted to doubt the goodness of God. "Why did He allow these reverses to come to me?" he questioned. One night as he sat dejected and discouraged before the fireplace, his six-year-old son came and sat in his lap. Over the mantle hung a motto that read, "God's works are perfect." "Daddy, what does perfect mean?" asked the boy. Before the father could reply he continued, "Does it mean that God never makes a mistake?" The thought was just what the father needed. Hugging his son to him he said, "Yes, Johnny, that's just what it means!"

     I found the above illustration and immediately thought of today’s message.  We will be finishing Psalm 121 this morning and learning of God’s perfect “works”.  God does things we have no understanding of and He keeps us from troubles and problems that would destroy us if we knew about them.

     God is not just good in the prosperous times He is good all the time.  Remember as the Psalmist has taught us thus far in this Psalm: …”he that keepeth thee will not slumber”.  We may lose focus, give up and even fall asleep, but God never does.  For that I am eternally thankful.  So lift up your eyes unto the hills from whence comes your help, your help comes from the Lord!

     Thankful for the things God has kept me from,
