PSALM 23:1-6
It is
crystal clear than man will always need help on this side of eternity. Although
many of us crave for independence, we are highly dependent on help or
assistance from God and our neighbours. The source of your help goes a long way
to determine whether your needs will be met or not. God is the only source of
genuine, endless help. Today, we shall examine how David, the Psalmist,
consistently made God the source of his help in all situations. When David
said, “From whence comes my HELP,” he was making a very important point. He was
drawing attention of the One who had been his help from ages past. He
remembered the One who had been with him when he was in trouble. When he was
alone on the farm, he fought a lion and a bear. Who helped him? The Lord. Who
is your helper? This is a question we should ask ourselves. Who has been
helping you in the past? It might be very difficult for many of us to answer
the question properly. Maybe the fellow who has been helping you all along is
your big uncle. Maybe you were not raised in a polygamous home. Maybe you come
from a Christian home where there are no witches at all. However, some of us
come from families where we knew the meaning of danger right from our youth.
Who is your helper? You must answer this question definitely. In Psalm 90:1-2,
David said, “LORD, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the
mountains were brought forth, or over You had formed the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” David knew what he
was talking about. When he was speaking to Saul, in 1 Samuel 17:34-37, he
stated that since he had killed a lion and a bear, Goliath would also meet his
waterloo because the God who gave the lion and the bear into his hands would
give him victory. On whom do you place your confidence? Does your help come
from above or from beneath? You may have a new problem but I want to assure you
that there is no new God. The God who helped you solve the problems of the past
will help you to solve the new ones. David asked a crucial question and he went
ahead to provide a timeless answer. “My help comes from the LORD.” My prayer
for you today is that God will take you to a level where your expectations will
come from Him and Him alone.
MEMORIZE:
PSALM 90:1 –LORD, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
