In times of trouble, we so often forget the truth that God is our faithful Protector. We look around at the circumstances and problems that confront us and we can’t see how things could possibly work out. But the Psalmist reminds us in these verses that we need not fear, because our help comes from the Lord. He is the One who made heaven and earth, and He is the One who will watch over us and defend us. He will never slumber or sleep, but He is always on guard, ready to come to our aid. So when you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, look to the Lord and put your trust in Him. He will never fail you or forsake you.
Psalm 121:1-2 King James Version
(A Song of degrees.) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
Bible Verses on Looking Up for God’s Help
Looking for Help? Look to God First (not Last)
Sometimes we treat God like the last resort and only seek him when we’ve failed everything else in our own power.
When we are facing a difficult situation, it can be tempting to try to solve it on our own. After all, we don’t want to bother God with our problems. We think that we can handle it and that He has better things to do than help us with our petty troubles. However, the truth is that God wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives. He wants us to come to Him first when we are facing difficulties because He knows that He can help us in ways that we cannot even imagine. When we turn to God first, we are acknowledging His power and His sovereignty. We are admitting that we need His help and that we cannot do it on our own. By turning to God first, we are opening the door for Him to work in our lives in amazing ways.
