(2) My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. –Psalm 121.1-2 (CSB) As we traveled from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, I was stunned by the beauty of the landscape. Flat land was occasionally interrupted by rolling hills and mountains. The further we traveled, the more beautiful it became. To see the grandeur of creation was breathtaking and God recalled today’s verse to my mind. We are finite beings; our power, reach, and knowledge are limited. We fall short in ways that we are both aware and unaware of (Psalm 19.12-13). However, God is infinitely powerful and knowing; his reach knows no end. He is infinitely perfect and creates by verbal fiat (Gen. 1)! By his sheer will, he holds all things together (Col. 1.15- 20). By observing his creation as I did in the west, we are reminded of his infiniteness and of our finiteness. Therefore, we come to better understand today’s verse. The infinite God provides help in all areas of our lives. There is nothing he cannot do. As the finite ones, we lift our eyes upward, we look past creation that is here today and gone tomorrow (Mt. 24.35) and find help from the one who created all things and holds all things together. When you consider your situations and circumstances, do you feel small and unable to address your concerns in adequate fashion? Then know this: You’re in good company! Saints throughout history have been in similar situations and have echoed the Psalmist’s words and have found the help they needed in those moments. Our help comes from outside of ourselves—it comes only from God. Lift your eyes, dear friend, and trust in the one who can help in all things. For Reflection
When confronted with difficulty, where do you normally turn to for help? Why? How can you foster the habit of turning to God for your help? Pray Pray and thank God that he is our source of help in all things. Father, I thank you that you are my help in all areas of my life. Please remind me that you always stand ready to help me in the circumstances of life.
