Psalm 121:1-3
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. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
“Help!” cried Jonah from the belly of the whale.
“Someone help us!” screamed the miners trapped miles beneath the earth in Chile.
“Help, somebody, help!” yelled the couple who careened off the road and landed at the bottom of the canyon.
“Honey, can you tie my shoes for me?” asked my husband—very reluctantly—after recent rotator cuff surgery.
We all need help at one time or another. Men, I’m told, are the most reluctant to ask for help…the most unwilling to accept it, too. And, it usually doesn’t happen until they are up against the wall, with nowhere else to turn.
Finally, they manage to get the dreaded word out.
“Help!”
It is a wise person who knows when to ask for help, but an even wiser one who knows who to ask.
King David wrote many Psalms to the Lord. In many of them, he cried out to God for help. In others, he thanked the Lord for answering his cries and bringing help when he needed it.
His Psalms have been a source of comfort to countless people over the years. In them, he shares his inability to conquer his troubles and defeat his enemies, on his own.
Wisely, he relied on God for help.
Some of the problems we face today are very similar to those of this mighty king in the Bible: illness, adultery, deceitfulness, the death of loved ones…
We learn from God’s Word that there are no problems too big, or too difficult, that He cannot handle.
Whatever the situation we face today, we can be assured that when we cry out for help, He hears us.
David knew who to go to when he needed help.
When we find ourselves lacking the ability or strength to correct our situations, let’s remind ourselves of the truth in God’s Word.
God is here for us, today, just as he was for King David.
The God of the universe…the maker of heaven and earth…the Savior of the world wants to be the one we call on in times of trouble, too.
