I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121:1-2 NKJV

Where do we turn for help when things aren’t going our way? There are many possibilities, we might turn to a friend, a partner, Google, family, a priest, pastor or rabbi. Maybe we would call our doctor, lawyer or accountant or business advisor… or call the police, even.

Where do we turn for help when things are going our way? Most people don’t really think about this one, instead thinking that since everything is going OK, who needs help? Yet, when things are going well, and we look to the future, getting a little help might be just the thing to keep things going well, and avoiding getting off track and into difficulty.

Hmmm…

I’ve gone back and looked at what I typed, and maybe I left somebody out of the list of potential helpers…

That’s right- you guessed it. I forgot about God; I doubt that I’m the only one. Every source of help that I’ve mentioned may be a good place to go, depending on the situation, but God is always the right source of help and guidance.

You don’t need an appointment to go to God, you can reach Him anywhere, anytime, day or night, you will not need to have your credit card handy, and He will never be too busy. A lawyer or advisor might need to research a subject before helping, a doctor will want to schedule some tests. A family member might look down their nose at you, Google can send you to dark places, but God is the foremost authority on every subject and situation; He made the entire universe after all, and He will greet you in loving arms; always.

He will never let you down.
