Beloved,

David declared in Psalms 121v1-2 that “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.”

Put your trust in God, for vain is the help of man. It is God that determines who helps you in times of need, not you. God has diverse ways of meeting your needs, and if He does not help you, no one will.

Your help may not come from people you know, love, or share your life with. If you know how God will help you and where the help will come from, then God may not be involved, so check it before you enter the snare of the devil.

Focus on God and help will come from unexpected sources. These helpers can be total strangers or least expected people you took for granted in the past or never thought anything good can come out of their Nazareth in Bible terms. It can also be people you assumed cared less about you.

If you are in a situation like this, I congratulate you because your help is on the way. God is the only present help in times of need. Learn to make Him your only source, and everything will end in praise. Keep learning and growing in God!
