Key Verse: Verse 2 - “My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.”
Key Words: My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth
The psalmist reminds himself and us that if God can create the heaven and the earth, he can help us in our day of adversity.
The words found in verse 2 are some of the most encouraging words in the Bible.
I don't know where your help comes from but it sure can't beat the help that comes from the One Who created the heaven and the earth.
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed fervently for God to save him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. “ God, how could you do this to me?” he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue “him.” How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal, they replied.”
Now, let me ask: Where did the survivor's help come from? If you said God, you are absolutely correct. He is our very present help in a time of trouble!
Read it again and don't forget it. Psalm 121:2, "My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth."
What to do:
✞ Let God be your help. There is none better.
