Psalm 124:8: Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.


Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms

Our help for the future, our ground of confidence in all trials present and to come. Is in the name of the Lord. Jehovah’s revealed character is our foundation of confidence; his person is our sure fountain of strength. Who made heaven and earth. Our Creator is our preserver. He is immensely great in his creating work; he has not fashioned a few little things alone, but all heaven and the whole round earth are the works of his hands. When we worship the Creator let us increase our trust in our Comforter. Did he create all that we see, and can he not preserve us from evils which we cannot see? He has rendered us help in the moment of jeopardy. He will to the end break every snare. He made heaven for us, and he will keep us for heaven; he made the earth, and he will succor us upon it until the hour comes for our departure. Every work of his hand preaches to us the duty and the delight of rest upon him only. 1

Living the Transformed Life

May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 115:15

  • He is our help. Will you ask Him to give you victory over your besetting sin?
  • He is our help. Will you ask Him for a more gentle heart towards your spouse and children?
  • He is our help. Will you ask Him to teach you how to live a sacrificial and surrendered life for His glory?

Asking Him for help is the best way to be helped.

Praise and Prayer

Thank You, Father, for knowing all my needs before I ask for Your gracious help. Dear Jesus, please continue teaching me to depend upon You for everything.
