Our Source of Help by David Jeremiah

Our Source of Help My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2, NIV Last July, in Charlotte, North Carolina, a large home exploded due to a gas leak. A surviving occupant used his cell phone to call 911 while buried under feet of rubble. When rescuers arrived, he directed their digging efforts, telling them where he was when the house exploded and where he was buried. The emergency rescuers found him alive and he was saved.

In our modern world, we have so many different ways to seek and find help. From an expert in a hardware store to an online resource, help is plentiful. And yet, in spite of all the ways we can seek and find help today, we should remember the words of the psalmist: “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” All the advice, all the technology, all the expertise—it all ultimately comes from one source: God, the Maker of all things. There shouldn’t be a day, even an hour, that goes by without expressing thanks to God for some kind of help we are given. Think about your day so far: What help has God given you for which you can thank Him (1 Thessalonians 5:18)? It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent.  Jeremy Taylor
