Where does my help come from? Well these days a lot of people seek help and when they are stressed beyond the limit and can’t find the help they need they either turn to drugs or alcohol. Some who are going through a financial crisis take up gambling. Then there are those who simply can’t cope and give up.
But I know where my help comes from and if it wasn’t for the help I received I wouldn’t be here today. My help is found in Psalm 121..My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow my foot to be moved. He who keeps me will not sleep. The Lord is my Keeper. The Lord is my shade at my right hand.The sun shall not strike me by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve me from all evil, He shall preserve my soul. The Lord shall preserve my going out, and my coming in from this time on and even forevermore. (Verses 1-8 personalized.) I love this Psalm and what a comfort to know through these uncertain times, He is our helper and our keeper. He preserves us and will keep us from all harm. What a mighty God is He and we have nothing to fear because He is with us and will never leave us.
In 2012 as I meditated on Psalm 121 I was inspired to write the poem, Where Would I Be if I Didn’t Have You? I pray this word will encourage you and know you are loved, Love Jan (Lollita Faith)
