READ: PSALM
121:1-8
Your source
of help will go a long way in determining how you face various circumstances of
life and whether you will be victorious or not. Today let me ask you: where
does your help come from? Is it beneath or above? In Psalm 121:1-2, the Bible
says: “I will lift up my eye to the hills-from whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven
and earth.” Who do you turn to at the time of trouble? Some people turn
to God plus something else: the holy water! Others turn to witch doctors.
However, the Bible says the sorrow of those who run after other gods shall be
multiplied. In Jeremiah 17:5-6, the Bible says: “Thus says the LORD: Cursed is the
man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from
the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when
good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt
land which is not inhabited.” When you put your trust in man, no matter
who he is, you put a curse on your head. God is available for you at anytime.
You can call on Him anytime and He will answer you. Whenever we are faced with
a problem, we should go back to the One who has been helping at the time of
need. When David was brought to Saul and said he would face Goliath, part of
his assurance was drawn from the fact that God had helped him when he faced a
bear and a lion. He trusted God to help him against Goliath. God is the only
One who cannot disappoint you. He has all the resources you will ever need
throughout your existence. He is ever ready to supply all your needs. Recall
how He has met your need in the past and trust Him for your present needs. He
is Jehovah El-Shaddai. He is ever faithful, ever true.
MEMORIZE:
PSALM 121:1 – I will lift up my eye to the hills-from whence comes my help?
