From Where Does My Help Come?
Have you ever wondered if help is on the way? Or is help ever going to come? Or how did we get into this predicament that we find ourselves in? Or how did life get so tangled up and so busy? What is causing this sudden rush of earnestness, of unrest, of no end in sight; and who is this author of multi-tasking anyways? It is like one has lost their way - their map - their compass for navigating through life’s unsettled seas. Who pulled the rug out from beneath our feet? Who pulled the plug on simplicity on peace of mind on rest assured? It is like grabbing for a throw line in the dark - or looking for a star on a cloudy night - or watching for an exit ramp on a busy interstate in a torrential down pour. Life is coming up fast while at the same time life is on a constant move all around us.
So I ask, “from where does my help come? Psalm 121 states, “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. He will not let your foot slip — He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you — the LORD is our shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day; nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm– He will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
I am tired and I need some much needed rest; however, once again God has come to my aide and restores my soul. Oh tomorrow may be another busy day with another busy to-do list; but tonight, God is watching over me. It is through His Word that I am able to find rest and contentment. I cannot say that I understand all nor do I know all; but this I do know — that the Living God is in control and He is watching over my life. With that comfort and reassurance, I will be able to truly sleep soundly and get some much needed rest. Our God is an Awesome God and He reigns from Heaven Above — Our God is an Awesome God!
