“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help, My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2.

God is the joy and strength of our lives…only His amazing grace will comfort, guide, and keep us in perfect peace. When we need to run to the foot of the cross, there we will find rest for our weary souls. “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help, My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2.

In times of spiritual unrest and the storms that will come in life, these words rush to my mind and heart:

I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;

Every hour I need Thee;

Oh, bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.

That is when the Holy Spirit readily reminds me of the promise found in Jeremiah 33:1-3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” It has been said that the value of a promise is as good as the promiser; Numbers 23:19 state “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” We can depend on God!

What do you need today- healing in your body or mind, a financial blessing-spiritual peace, and guidance? Take it all to the Lord in prayer and He will faithfully come through. King David wrote these words of assurance in his older years “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.” Psalm 37:25-26.

Our divine Promises Keeper succors us in times of trouble; the word succor goes far beyond, the thought of help…it expresses the aide of One who is able to provide support in times of deep hardship and distress; Jesus my dear friends cover us in the storms of life; we are hidden behind the proverbial rock of ages!

Yes, trouble is inevitable, but we can stand on the promises of God. Let us be encouraged by the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;” The power that lives within us will never fail!

God blessings of peace, joy, strength, and amazing grace be with us all.
