"Our Help is in the Lord"

The psalmist David declared that our help is in the name of the Lord. He reminded Israel that if it had not been for the Lord God who was with them during the exodus, that they never would have made it through the wilderness. David described that the help from God is not ordinary help, but rather supernatural and creative. He stated that our help comes from the one who made heaven and earth. The very God that breathed life into our bodies is there to help us through any circumstance. We often find ourselves in need of help in many or our day to day activities, and for whatever reason we seem to be too proud or independent to stop and ask for assistance from God. We in turn seek instruction or advice from others who are willing, but often not able to give us the help we need. Many times we plunge ahead and make rash decisions not based on the will of God, and end up in liberty found in the land of Canaan, had thy not depended on God for help.

Maybe we could learn from the experiences of Israel that when faced with adversity or situations that seem to be insurmountable, we can always go to God for help. He is a specialist in every field, and who better to seek guidance from, than the one who holds our future in his hands. There is never a problem too big or too small for God. In fact he already has the answer before we ask. Our problem is that in far too many circumstances, we simply just don't ask. The Bible says ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. All of these instances require us to make the first move. It is not a shame to admit that we are dependant on God, but rather a quality of strength to depend on God and ask his direction.
God is willing to listen, are we willing to ask?
