From Where Does Our Help Come?

Psalm 121:1-2 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.

The Creator, the One who spoke our world into existence. Is there anyone else with such power? No. Then why would any one of us who know the Lord turn anywhere else in our time of need? We who are born again believers, why would we not trust the God, who has the power to give us eternal life, for our every day situations, challenges, and circumstances? Sadly, we sometimes let the enemy convince us that God is either not able, or just doesn't care. We also get angry at Him for the evil that happens in this world, and often wonder why He allows such things to happen. What we forget is that He was not the One who sinned, and caused evil to enter this world. It was man's decision to disobey God that caused all that happens in our world today. God allows us free will to choose whether to do right or wrong. He has the power to stop all evil, and completely destroy it. However, if He chooses not to, even if we do not like it, who are we to question Him? When did He become accountable to man? We know not always what is His purpose in allowing troubles to come, but He did promise that He would work all things together for our good (and always for His glory). For those of us who know Him, we know that there is coming a day when He will finally make right all that is wrong. Until then, we must live a life that honors Him, and do our best to make the right choices, based on His Word, and trust Him to be our Helper in our time of need, whatever that need might be (please note I said need, not want). We have a God who has told us to cast our cares upon Him because He cares for us (each of us). Who better to have in our corner during times of trouble than the Creator of this universe? Who is greater than our God? No one. For our Creator is the Lord of lords, and King of kings. There is no one like Him.
