Our Helper

“The Lord is my helper” (Hebrews 13:6).

There is an old saying, “The Lord helps those that help themselves.” However, I heard a good addition to that saying, “The Lord also helps those who cannot help themselves.”

The hymn writer, Henry Francis Lyte, expressed it in his hymn, Abide With Me:

When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Maybe you are feeling helpless today as you face some crises or crossroads in your Christian life. Remember, while you may be beyond human help, you are never beyond divine help. There is one who sees and knows everything and already has it all worked out according to His purpose and for your good and blessing.

David was often in dire and dangerous situations, but he learned to call on the Lord for help in those difficult times. I have often enjoyed his prayer at the beginning of Psalm 12, when he simply said, “Help Lord” (Psalm 12:1). If you need help today, pray this prayer and you will find the Lord, “a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).
