Our Help
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5).
In our busy, stress-filled world, we may sometimes be tempted to look in the wrong place and in the wrong direction for help. One of God’s creatures illustrate this. A bee dropped into a jar will stay there until it dies. Unaware of the open top, it seeks escape at the bottom. Similarly, many people, young and old, grope at the bottom of their circumstances, not willing to look up to the Lord for help.
The inspired writer realized the right place to look for help when he penned the following verses: “From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:1-2). While we are thankful for the helpful counsel and advice of family, friends, and other believers, yet in the end we must look to the Lord who is “a very present help” (Psalm 46:1).
