Thoughts for another day

Feb. 22, 2008

Today's verse: Ps. 121:1,2. 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. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

Who will I help me, who will come to raise me up? When I am beat and the paths of life seem to be strewn with treacherous and vile things, who will clear my path. Don’t we at many times wonder aloud on this and wonder, what answers will life provide to these our questions.

Well, today, the Guardian of Israel is listening intently to the fearful questions that arise in our hearts. He is listening to that cry of one of you who is in great pain because of cancer. Right now, He is focused on someone who’s just lost her job and in great despair. Besides, He is also looking at that couple that have no children and the prayer of this lady pulling at His hem day in and day out. And ah, His heart is troubled. He is anguished at your anguish because He loves you. He is pained that you don’t trust Him enough. He wants to stretch out His hand and comfort you. He yearns to hold you in His arms as does a mother, her child. Will you just unshackle yourself so He is able to hold you?

O frail Christian, lift up your eyes and look on high, your Redeemer has already set Himself to arrive at your door. See He is coming swiftly to touch you and comfort you. Set your heart firmly to His Word that when He sees you, He feels, ‘I must help this child who believes so much in Me.’

Let your mannerism be as David who, in the midst of tribulation exhibited a confidence, which in many ways could be termed foolish. But David knew His Redeemer live and would come to his aid. Therefore, he could speak the words as he did, as are in our Verse today.
