Where does your help come from when in trouble?

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

You and I get so caught up in the things in our lives that we inadvertently take our eyes off God and immerse ourselves into trying to solve our living issues. We focus on the problem not the true source of help.

We forget God is the author and finisher of all things and has power and dominion over the heavens and earth.

What happens is we try to take matters into our own hands and hope our God will go along with us.

We get our priorities twisted and discover we are trying to operate in our own strength and are neglecting the help of our Creator to deliver us from our troubles.

This Psalm of David speaks to the heart of a believer. Where do your eyes go when you are facing trouble? Most believers tend to have a superficial faith and quickly look within themselves or to the world to find answers to their troubles.

Today, my eyes will be on the Lord for my help and I will believe our great God calls things that don’t exist as if they did!
