18/11/09         THE LORD OUR HELP   

Scripture – Psalm 124:8 “Our help is in the Name of the Lord who made heaven and earth.” 

Observations – David in this Psalm has been declaring that the Lord has been on their side and the troubles they have suffered have not been because of Him. God is their deliverer not their enemy. He has a clear understanding that our help is in the Name of the Lord. We are very blessed to have the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to help us. As we call on His name we are saved and we are delivered! He is a present help in time of need. We can come boldly to the throne of grace in time of need.

 Application – It is important that I remember the power of His name. At His Name every knee must bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. He is the Lord who made heaven and earth – the almighty, all powerful One. It is important to recognise that He is not our enemy but our deliverer. Unlike Job we know who our enemy is.

 Prayer – Lord I declare the Name of Jesus Christ is above our lives. We are in no danger, for you are with us. You are our help, our provider and protector. My God is the creator! My God is the Greatest!
