I Need Help!
I Need Help!
Greg King
Life is full of uncertainties. We like to think that we have a firm handle on things but the reality is we don’t know from one moment to the next what life will throw at us. Sometimes life can give us some pretty hard blows. Sometimes it seems unfair & cruel. It seems that at every turn there is some obstacle to overcome.
We need help. We can’t handle it on our own. We become weary and we need encouragement. We become feeble and we need strength. God understands our weaknesses. Speaking of Jesus the Hebrew writer states, 4:14-16; “ Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” He experienced sorrow, stress, disappointment, loss, and death. In Him we find mercy and help. Psalm 121:1-2 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”
The Lord stands ready to grant wisdom & comfort for life’s problems & take on Himself the burdens that we cannot bare. He is ready and willing to strengthen us that we might stand.
I’m thankful that this world is not our home. Along with joy & good comes adversity and trouble. When trouble strikes. Who will you trust for help? The Lord God Almighty ever lives, rules in the kingdoms of men, desires to shower us with mercy, and will not forsake us. If we will allow Him to guide us in life He will be our greatest and most trustworthy source of help!
