My Help Comes From The Lord

 

“I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

—Psalm 121:1-2

Trouble always finds its way into everyone’s life. Even if we’ve led relatively peaceful lives, full of health and well-being, eventually we will have a time of trial in our lives. That just the way life is—sometimes quite peaceful and at other times a raging battle.

In our times of trouble, it is always appropriate for us to turn to God for help. After all, He is the One who created us. He knows every detail of our lives. He is the “Giver of Every Good and Perfect Gift.” He alone carries the destiny of our lives in the palms of His loving hands.

We are not alone in seeking help from God when trouble knocks on the doors of our lives. Notice these words of the Psalmist, found in Psalm 121:1-2:

I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Today, as a new day begins, each of us knows the trouble that may plague our lives. And, if we’re fortunate enough to currently enjoy a time of peacefulness in our lives, we certainly know others around us who are battling difficulties in their lives.

Let’s take time today to ask for God’s help—if not for ourselves, certainly for others. If we do so, we will find the calm assurance that He is the source of true help. He will provide whatever we need. And, we will be able to echo the words of the Psalmist: “My help comes from the Lord…”
