Memorize: Psalms 46:1 NKJV
« God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. »
Read: Psalms 121:1-8 NKJV
1I 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.
I often see a lot of people going through life on their own.
They try to do everything by their knowledge and power.
Though they achieve some level of success and celebrate it, I pity them because they have no idea how much higher they could have gone if only they had consulted God for help.
When you try to do it all by yourself, you age faster and can easily get frustrated, but when you let God help you, when you relax and let Him carry you on His wings, your burden is transferred to Him.
I used to try to do things by my abilities before.
I wanted the church to grow, so I was doing everything in my power to bring that to pass. One day however, I noticed a strand of grey hair on my head at the age of forty. I asked God why I should be having grey hair at that young age and He said ‘Aren’t you the one who wants to do everything yourself?’ From that day, I surrendered all to God. After a while, the grey hair disappeared and the church grew faster than I had expected, without any stress on me.
« I look to the mountains; where will my help come from? My help will come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. »
Our eyes must always be lifted to God for help – not people, not the government, not a church or anyone else; but Go alone
Yes, God can raise people to help us like He did for Adam.
Adam was in need of help in the Garden of Eden; God recognized this and gave him Eve. Genesis 2:18 GWT
« It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is right for him. »
If however, you are not in God’s kingdom, how would you expect His help when He has said a kingdom divided against itself shall be desolate (Matthew 12:25) ?
When you surrender all to Him and seek His face, He will raise helpers for you.
Helpers you never knew existed will come your way today in the mighty name of Jesus.
Prayer focus – Lord, I look up to You alone; please send help to solve all my problems, in the mighty name of Jesus.
