My Help

I will lift my eyes to the hills--

from whence comes my help?

My help comes from the Lord,

who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121:1

Where do you go when you need help? Often times we go to our friends, or our family. If we need financial help, we go to a banker; legal help, we go to a lawyer; medical help, we go to a doctor. Whatever our need, there is usually a professional who can help us with our problem. But where should we really turn when we need help? The Psalmist knew when he said, "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth."

That's right! The only One Who can truly help us is the One who made it all, and Who holds it all in the palm of His hand. His fingers span the expanse of all creation with room to spare, and He keeps it all going. Being in personal relationship with Him, I am confident that if He can make the universe and keep it going, He can certainly do something about my little problems.

The Psalmist wrote:

• He will not allow your foot to be moved
• He who keeps you will not slumber
• He is your shade, and nothing shall strike you
• He shall preserve you from all evil

We've got a God who never sleeps, who is always watching, who protects and defends and shields and keeps. I am so thankful for that last definition...He is my keeper! He will look after me, and He will look out for me. When I come in, when I got out, forever and forever, He is there for me. My help comes from the Lord!
