MESSAGE
Vain is the help of man (Psalms 60:11). If God does not help you, no one on earth can. Men will always fail but God has precious promises to assure you of help. The Psalmist says that even when my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will take me up.
In Psalms 46, the Bible called God your very present help in times of trouble. Even when the storms of life are raging and tumults roar like thunder, God is in your midst, you shall not be moved, God will help you right early.
Whatever need may arise, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional, there is a promise of help to you from the Lord. You can lift up your eyes unto the Lord from whom your help comes (Psalms 121).
In the face of disgrace and shame, God has promised to help you never to be disgraced. Isaiah 50:7 says, “For the Lord God will help Me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed. Isaiah 50:7 NKJV
According to our reading of the day, God is saying to you, beloved, don’t be afraid because I will help you. Even when a host encamp against you, even though you have no one to help you, the Lord will help you.
What can be more beautiful than when God helps a man? Since He is the Almighty and the Lord of hosts, you can be sure that victory is yours. Are you hard-pressed by the battles of life and do you feel like quitting? Stretch your hands to the Lord your helper and all your enemies will be ashamed.
If you trust in God, He will help you and deliver you from the wicked. He will also save you (Psalms 37:40).
Finally, God says He will be the one to help you. Thus says the Lord who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: ‘Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. Isaiah 44:2 NKJV. If you have received the Lord Jesus Christ into your life, you can be sure that you will never lack help from above.
REFLECTION
For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’
Isaiah 41:13 NKJV
Relax, the Lord of hosts is still in charge, He will help you and fight all your battles for you. You will come around with an abundance of testimonies because of the help His countenance.
PRAYER
Father, I claim every promise of divine help in your word for my life from this day.
