"Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God." (Psalm 146:5)
There are so many people, institutions, etc., in which one can seek help and have hope. Deep down today, where is your help and hope?
A king in the Old Testament responded to a person who once called out for help, "If the Lord does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?"
Our King and Savior, Jesus Christ, is Himself Help and Hope. The ancient king was right. Apart from Jesus Christ, "....where can I find help for you?"
Father, in Jesus' Name, perfect Help and Hope are You. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
