Our Help

“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel now say—“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul.” Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; thee snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

- Psalms 124:1-8, NKJV

Thank You Lord that our help does not come from this world, or the things of it. Thank You that our hearts are neither inclined to, nor focused on the matters prevailing over this world. Thank You that when we are in distress we do not have to look far, but simply right beside us for comfort and worth. Thank You Lord for being our hope and trust actualized in that you are our ever present help and strength…even in the midst of great turmoil. Thank You for such an overwhelming display of love that even from on high, You find time to see about our needs - When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor (Psalms 8:3-5, NKJV). Thank You! Thank You for standing for us when we are willing to fall for anything. Thank You for reaching out to us when we refused to let go and allowing Your grace and mercy to reside instead of anger and pride. Thank You for lifting our heads just enough above the foolishness to see that our help comes for You Lord - I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth (Psalms 121:1-2, NKJV). Thank You for being our help!

BE BLESSED!
