Zechariah 14:7 If we read the verse in its context, we discover that the prophet is speaking about the day of the LORD – when Jesus returns at His Second Coming.

When we do so, we notice how blessed we are, and this generates a natural response of thankfulness.

Psalm 121:8 We noticed, in verse 7, that "preserve" means to hedge about, as with thorns.

Ps 20:7 The Psalmist is saying how some people put their trust in the weapons of war to get them through the battle. He, on the other hand, has learned that the name of the LORD is a stronger force than man's weapons.

Ps 121:6 The sun brings life and warmth to our planet. In a process known as photosynthesis, plants use the energy from sunlight to produce usable chemical energy (plant sugar), at the same time releasing oxygen, which we all need to sustain life. We also need a little sunlight on our skin daily to give us a measure of vitamin D.
