“My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.” (Psalm 121:2)
When we help someone, we assist them with the power or ability we have.
This verse proclaims a shocking and glorious truth – that our help comes from the Lord. We are relying on the Maker of heaven and earth – the One that literally everything depends on, who can do anything!
In the thousands of years since this Psalm was first sung, God has proven His power in more ways than we can imagine. Just think of the power we know He has – total control, knowledge of everything, absolute love, perfection in all He does…everything He needs to bring about His good plans for us, for eternity.
If we’re ever tempted to think it’s unrealistic for God to promise that He’ll use His unbelievable power and ability to help us, we can look to Jesus. All God’s promises find their “Yes” in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20.)
Colossians 1, a hymn of praise describing the glory of Jesus, reinforces this truth in verse 17. “In him all things hold together!”
Who is helping us in our tiredness and in everything we face? The All-Powerful Lord of All!
What can’t He help us with? Nothing!
Is there anything you want to ask God for help with but haven’t yet?
