Need Some Help?

It is Monday! Boy is it Monday! Ever have one of those days? A day of tension, tightness, and tiredness? Just a day that you could use a little help. Today, is actually not that bad personally. I got to run 3 miles in under 30 minutes, sprinted stadium steps x 20, stretched and made it home before the deluge hit.

The thought crossed my mind while ascending the steps that sometimes we caught in the valley with an enemy on the high grounds. We find ourselves trapped with little hope. We may even wonder if we can survive the mission. Then as we lift our eyes up to the hills we remember that there is one higher than the hills. We engage our faith and reckon that the Maker of the Hills is mightier than the foe.

What we need on that day is to engage our faith in Almighty God. We believe that He exist, that He is powerful and mighty to save, and that He is able and willing to rescue his child. This is a good thing to remember on a day when things are going okay - cause there will come a day when this faith has to be activated.

Enjoy all of Psalm 121:

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

1 I look up to the mountains—

does my help come from there?

2 My help comes from the LORD,

who made heaven and earth!

3 He will not let you stumble;

the one who watches over you will not slumber.

4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel

never slumbers or sleeps.

5 The LORD himself watches over you!

The LORD stands beside you as your protective shade.

6 The sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon at night.

7 The LORD keeps you from all harm

and watches over your life.

8 The LORD keeps watch over you as you come and go,

both now and forever.

Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, 

and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
