- Help
Psalm 121:2
My help cometh from the Lord,
Which made heaven and earth.
Who will help me? Where will my help come from? What can I trust to find help for my needs? My help does not come from the hills: the “hills” are the high places where shrines and idols are set up to pray to and ask for help; this was the most common place, Baal and the idol gods, to whom most people would look to for help. “But I will not look to the false idols; my help comes from the Lord, the Creator of the hills and even of the false gods. He alone will help me.”
My help comes from the Lord alone; not from God and someone else but from God alone. The doctor, a lawyer, a counselor, an advisor or some other human aid may be used by God to help me, but the source of the help come from the Lord. We refuse to place our trust in the visible instruments that God uses to help. All good come from God; He gets the credit and the thanks for all the good things and the help He gives in every time of trouble. It may not always look like the help came from the Lord, but He is the One from whom all help comes. Remember the story of: “I sent you two boats and a plane.”
Thank the people through whom the help comes: say, “Thank God for you.” The promise of help is clear and assured. It will be the Lord who helps.
