"All of My Help Comes From the Lord"

Psalm 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

 

There were pilgrims that would journey to Jerusalem for Festivals. They may have song or prayed this while on this pilgrimage seeking and Trusting God’s protection and Strength. On the way to Zion, they could face many dangers seen and unseen, weather conditions or Elements, someone could possibly slip and hurt themselves, there were the dangers of robbers and other things to be concern about on their way.

 

This psalm can also be applied to us as Christians in our Pilgrimage through this life. This Journey began or begins when you Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by Grace through Faith obey John 3:5 and Acts 2:38.

For those who are not Saved, not Born Again etc…

 

Jesus Said: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30)

 

You may be burden down, dead in trespasses and sins. Sinners are unable to keep the Law of God. The Law of God is Good and Perfect but we are sinful. People are so burdened because they had failed over and over again to keep the Law, they are guilty. We must give Jesus the full weight of all our sin; we give Him our complete and utter inability to obey God. Do you want Peace, Rest, Joy, True Love etc…?

 

The Law came by Moses but Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ

 

Jesus Christ the Son of God (God manifested in Flesh) the Lamb of God, Shed his blood, Died on the Cross for our Sins and the Sin of the World, He was Buried and Resurrected from the Dead the Third Day for our Justification. (cf. Matthew 26:28; John1:29; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 4:25). (Jesus Christ deemed defeated our greatest enemies: Sin, Death and the Devil). At the Cross, God’s Love and Judgement was satisfied.

 

Sinners need to be saved, to be born again of water and the Spirit (cf. John 3:3-5). They must believe and have Faith in Jesus in what he done (His Death, Burial and Resurrection), receive Jesus the Christ as their Lord and Savior, by Grace through Faith: REPENT, get Water Baptized (immersion) in the name of Jesus Christ (invoked) for the remission of sins and receive the Holy Ghost - Speaking in Tongues as the Spirit gives the Utterance (cf. John 3:16; John 1:12; Ephesians 2:8; Acts 2:4; Acts 2:38; Acts 10:45-46a and others).

Sometimes when we don't have the strength to fight, God will fight for us. We are not in this alone. Jesus Loves His Sheep. The main thing is to Trust God and not ourselves, something or someone else. All of my Help comes from the Lord. I will lift up eyes unto the hills from which cometh my help, my help cometh from the Lord that made heaven and the earth. He will keep us.

 

 

“One of the greatest challenges is to live the Christian life, not in one's own strength but in the power that God provides (John 15:5).” - By Steven J. Lawson

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

 

We have: Prayer, Praise and Worship unto God, God’s Word and the Holy Ghost- the Spirit of Jesus to help us. (we should have a Prayer Life or a Life of Prayer).

 

That is why it should not be, “I will”, But “I Yield or Submit”, to the Leading of the Spirit of God in Jesus name.

 

 

[ whatever we need Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally and Financially God is our help.]

 

 

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. (ref. Phil.4:19).

 

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

 

And he (Jesus) spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (Luke 18:1)

 

Pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).

 

– Depend and lean on God, Don’t give up or quit. Trust God our Lord Jesus. –

 

Be careful(worried) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7).

 

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. – Isaiah 54:17.
