Who Will Stand Up For Me?

Often when we are going through hard times we fail to call out to God for help.  We are so focused on our problem that we think and talk about it continually instead of going to a quiet place to pray and seek God for His help.  If God promises to help us in our time of need, why are we reluctant to seek Him? 

One reason we don’t come to God when we are in trouble is that we are unsure if He will help us.  Some of us would prefer to go to someone we can see rather than to God who we are unable to see, but whose presence is always with us.  God has infinite power to help.  The above scripture says that the Lord will stand up to help us and He will keep us safe from harm.  Do we believe what God says in His word or do we doubt that He is able to fulfill what He says?

The above Psalm tells us that God’s words are perfect.  They are like silver or gold which has been made pure in a furnace.  This means that we can be sure God’s word is true and free of all error or falsehood.  God’s promises and His faithfulness in fulfilling what He has said is dependable.  Jesus said that those who are weary and heavy laden should come to Him for rest.  

Are we willing to come to Jesus who knows all about our troubles and desires to help or would we rather go to someone else?  The choice is ours!

Prayer:  Loving God, Help me to believe that You do what you promise.  When I am afraid help me to come to You and trust You to keep me safe from all harm.  Fill my heart with courage and the confidence that You are always with me and will help in my time of need.  Amen
