God delivers His people from it. (Or yearns to, anyway.)
Reading:

Psalm 147

God’s thoughts are higher than ours. Of our own intellect and wisdom, we cannot generate such thoughts and perspectives as His. Neither can we know His ways of living and doing things.

We can no more know His thoughts and ways than an amoeba or a monkey can know ours.

Unless.

Unless He chooses to tell us His thoughts.

“He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 147:20).

So many people do not know His judgments. They don’t know His thoughts. They don’t know His points of view. They don’t know His ways.

But His people do!

Because He chose to let them know.

Praise the Lord!

Who has God for Helper
Reading:

Psalm 146

Here is one of the beatitudes of the Old Testament:

“Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God” (Psalm 146:5).

So many people do not have God for their help and hope.

  • Some never heard of Him.
  • Others don’t know Him.
  • And yet others ignore Him or forget Him.

So their help and hope lies elsewhere.

And eventually, they are left shattered.

I am so blessed to have God!

So let me keep Him as my helper. And let me keep my trust in Him.

Put not your trust...in whom there is no help (Psalm 146:3)
from Psalm 146:3
