You are our Hope, O Lord GOD

1/29/2014

 
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. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. (Psalms 121:1-8)
Age old questions and an answer.  Where is GOD when I am in trouble?  When our nation is destroying itself in sIn? When GOD's people seem to be asleep spiritually?

GOD is always here.  The creator of all things hasn't moved, and He does not change.  He doesn't get tired, and He will keep all His promises.  In His time, and His way, according to His will, He will accomplish all that He has set forth.  For the Psalmist that meant both personal and national deliverance.  For us, it means personal deliverance, and care during whatever GOD allows or brings upon the nations that forget Him.

Whatever our circumstances, unless it is a consequence of our own actions, GOD will bring us through it.  If it is His judgment of our own rebellion, GOD will only act upon repentance, but He may allow us to suffer through the results of our decisions.  He is faithful.  He is just, and He is merciful.  We praise Him, and continue to look for Him, our blessed Hope.

GOD judges sIn:  All mankind is guilty and is under the curse of that rebellion against GOD.  But, GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth.

If you don't know Him, if you don't have that kind of personal relationship with Him, this Psalm does not apply to you.  Only those in Christ can say our help comes from GOD.  But, Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal.  Receive Him by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting.  He is the only one who can help us with our sIn problem, and He freely offers His Salvation to those that look to Him for forgiveness.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
