PSALM 121:1-2

A song of ascents.

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.

TO PONDER

There are all kinds of help available to those who ask for it. Your GP, Centrelink, the local MP, the police and emergency services, a mechanic and all trades people and the list goes on. 

For those who know the Lord, because his Word and Spirit have taken root in them, then our first help is the one who has created us in his image. All the other helpers are his gifted people gifted to us, but he is our first and last, our north, south, east and west. He is not just at every point of the compass, he, Jesus, is the one who draws all people and all of creation to himself for revival, resurrection, transformation, restoration, renewal, elevation, and glory. Jesus who is Yahweh, is our all in all.

Where does my help come from? Jesus.

PRAYER: Fill me with your perfect peace Father, let us rest in your eternal goodness and grace. May our eyes be forever on Jesus, our help in every need. Amen.
