| The last phrase of the above verse poses a question: “From whence cometh my help?” This question is immediately answered: “My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.” How often God’s children have proven this, that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” And how very often we need His help. “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” “For He shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.” “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us,” and “because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.” “Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.” “Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.” “Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” |
