Ashes-Capsule(Psalm 121:1-2)

 

Psalm 121:1-2."I lift up my eyes to the hills-from whence comes my help?My help comes from the Lord,who made heaven and earth

 

Thought 1:Help ..we all need it.We need it when we cannot move further,we long for a hand that holds ours,that shouldres our burden and here we see the Psalmist also in a "helpless" situation to which He does one thing.He lifts His eyes!!

Child of God when feeling helpless we often tend to put our faces down discontented,disappointed,but we get encouragement from this verse.I LIFT UP MY EYES TO THE HILLS...!!!A child whom I know was trying to lift up a weight tht she could not bear,she knew that I was standing nearby,she tried a lot to take that "heavy toy".At last she made it and suddenly it fell down from her hand and there she with tears in her eyes looked upto me.When helpless its not time to put our faces down,its time ,I said ITS TIME TO LOOK UP  AND SEEK OUR EVER PRESENT HELP AND FIND AN ANSWER IMMEDIATELY!!HIs help is timely and Immediate!!

 

Thought 2:The Psalmist ends the question is verse 1 with an answer in verse 2 and then we see the qualities of the Helper He found!!We also need to pen down the HELP that He provides in our OWN terms as we move through the paths of life.

He says MY HELP COMES NOT FROM THE HILLS,BUT BEYOND THE HILLS FROM THE ONE WHO MADE THESE HILLS, FROM THE ONE WHO MADE THE SKIES AND THE UNIVERSE.My Helper is My Creator!!When we try looking to various locations for help,do not miss the PERSON who created THOSE.We dont get help from where our eyes see,we get help from the INVISIBLE GOD WHO DWELLS IN  THE UNAPPROACHABLE LIGHT,THE ONE WHO CREATED THE UNIVERSE!!David must have known the scripture Moses wrote "Genesis 1.1:In the beginning God created Heaven and the earth" and David added to that verse"My Help comes from the LORD who created,who made the Heaven and the Earth"

 

Introspection

--------------------

1)When was the most recent time when you needed a help desperately??What was your immediate response?

2)How do you approach God when you need Help??Do you find Him evry present to you??

 

Application

---------------

1)Write down what God means to you as YOUR HELPER from HEB2.18,4.16,13.6,Psalm 46.1
