« My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth »
1 I will lift up my eyes to the hills— From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper; the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
The kind of help anyone can render is determined either by the person’s might or capability.
Nobody can give what he or she does not have.
This makes divine help very desirable since it comes from the unlimited God.
David knew this secret and penned what we have as part of our text for today. He said in Psalm 121:1-2GWT,
« I look up toward the mountains. Where can I find help? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth »
The following are the steps we must take to secure divine help:
- First, we must fear and trust the One who has unlimited power to help.
Psalm 37:39-40 says that the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord and that He shall help and deliver them from the wicked because they trust Him.
- The second step is to keep the law of the Lord. Psalm 119:145-146GNT says
« With all my heart I call to you; answer me, Lord, and I will obey your commands! I call to you; save me, and I will keep your laws »
Unfortunately, many self-professing Christians do not want to hear anything about the law of God and would rather overstretch the place of grace to the point of lawlessness.
This is not God’s will.
- The third step for those who would benefit from Divine help is to call on the Lord for the needed help.
The Bible says in Exodus 20:3GWT
« Do not worship any god except me »
Looking up to anything or anyone apart from God is idolatry.
This is dangerous because our God is a jealous God Exodus 20:5.
As a matter of fact, we short-change ourselves by trusting in man that is limited rather than trusting the Almighty, the Unlimited God.
The Bible says in Isaiah 31:1NKJV
« Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because they are many, And in horsemen because they are very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, Nor seek the LORD! »
Beloved, I encourage you to surrender your life to Jesus, live righteously and look up to God alone for help.
He will never let you down.
Prayer focus – Father, please send help to me today, in Jesus’ name.
