The Lord God Is Our Helper

Sometimes it’s good to lift up our heads and focus on the LORD. God sees us. He knows our pain. Our struggles. Our loneliness. Our weakness. Our sin. But as the resurrected King, he has a different perspective:

He knows the end of the story. He died for us and overcame death for us. He is our righteousness! He is forever God and forever good. He knows that the best is yet to come for those who are with him. He is and will forever be our victory.

He is alive and well. He is all-loving and all-powerful. He is in control and He is not and will never be in lockdown. And if this Jesus is for us, who can be against us? (Rom 8:31)

It is this God who says to us: Do not fear – I’m with you – and I will help you.

10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

14 Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

– Isaiah 41:10 & 14

God, how great you are! I worship you! God, here I am. I need you. Please help me. Amen.
