一場熱門活動的門票早被搶購一空，但麗娜卻意外獲得一張免費門票，她小心地把門票夾在聖經裡。但在活動當天，麗娜的兒子卻看到她焦急地在廚房裡東翻西找。當她解釋自己把聖經弄丟時，兒子疑惑地問她為何在食物櫃裡找聖經，她氣急敗壞地說：「因為別的地方我都找過了呀！再過30分鐘活動就要開始了，我一刻都不想錯過！」兒子忍不住笑著說：「媽，深呼吸，冷靜一下。我想妳大概是太害怕錯過活動了！」這時麗娜也覺得好笑。就在母子倆一起找聖經時，麗娜的丈夫走了進來，拿著聖經說：「妳把它留在車子裡了。」

享受意外的祝福、難得的機會或是美好時刻，本身並沒有錯。但是若不留意，這種對享樂的渴望可能會變成一種害怕錯過的焦慮。我們甚至可能會懷疑，上帝是不是不願意把美好事物給我們，或是忽略了我們。但詩篇121篇告訴我們，「造天地的耶和華」（2節）是那位時刻看顧我們，從不打盹的供應者和保護者（3-7節）。我們不必因事情不順利、耽延，甚或錯過機會而感到焦慮，因為祂的眼目看顧我們的出入，「從今時直到永遠」（8節）。

無論是患難的時刻、豐盛的季節，還是在那些看似平凡無奇的日子裡，上帝的眼目始終不曾離開我們，也不會讓我們錯過祂預備要讓你我經歷的每一個恩典。

Trina received a free ticket to a sold-out event and tucked it into her Bible. Later, her son saw her frantically searching through the pantry. When she explained that she’d lost her Bible, he asked why she was looking in the food cupboard. “Because I’ve looked everywhere else, and the event starts in thirty minutes,” she said. “I don’t want to miss one moment.” Her son chuckled. “Breathe, Mom,” he said. “I think you’re suffering from FOMO, the fear of missing out.” She laughed. As her son joined the search, Trina’s husband entered. “You left this in the car,” he said, holding up the Bible.

While it’s not wrong to enjoy unexpected blessings, big breaks, or once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, a desire for enjoyment can easily turn into a fear of missing out. We can even be tempted to think God holds out on us or loses sight of us. However, the “Maker of heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:2) is our ever-watchful and never-sleeping provider and protector (vv. 3-7). So we don’t have to fret over detours, delays, or even missed opportunities. God will watch over our “coming and going both now and forevermore” (v. 8).

During times of affliction, seasons of abundance, and in every mundane moment God plans for us in-between, we’re always in His line of sight. We won’t miss out on anything God has planned for us to experience.
