THE LORD IS MY HELPER
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30
Isaiah 41:1-14
Hebrews 13:1-8
“If God be for us,
who can be against us?”
THE LORD IS MY HELPER
Today, the Lord has gracious words of assurance for you and me. He says, “I will help thee” (Isa 41:10). Is anything too hard for the Lord? When we consider what He has done already, we have the answer from the Lord Himself: “Why, I bought thee with my blood. I died for thee, and if I have done the greater, will I not do the lesser?” The Apostle Paul’s words say the same: “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Rom 8:32). How shall He not readily come to our aid?
God’s help comes to us from His great loving heart. He chose us before the world began. He included us in His covenant. His own Son laid aside His glory and became a man for our sakes. At Calvary He gave His life for us. If He did all this, He will surely help us now. If we need a thousand times as much help, He will still not deny us. Our present need is little compared with what He is ready to give. Nothing is too hard for the Lord! Fear not, O ye of little faith! Whenever in doubt remember His loving words: “I will help thee.”
Consider who our Helper is. “There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them” (Deut 33:26-27). O my soul, is not this enough? Do you need more strength than the omnipotence of the eternal God, the One who rules supreme in the heavens? He is the Creator, who is from everlasting to everlasting, who “fainteth not, neither is weary…there is no searching of his understanding” (Isa 40:28). It is He who says, “I will help thee.” Respond, then, believing, “The Lord is my helper” (Heb 13:6).
THOUGHT: Is anything too hard for my Lord?
PRAYER: Father, may I always turn first to Thee, knowing that Thou art my Helper.
