Title: Where Do You Turn When You Need Help?
Text:
Luke 5:15-16 (HCSB)
15 But the news about Him spread even more, and large crowds would come together to hear Him and to be healed of their sicknesses. 16 Yet He often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.
Observation:
This passage fits in very well with where I am in my life at the present time; it has been a time of looking back, within, without; and most importantly looking above. I have lived long enough; seen enough, and experienced enough to know where my help comes from.
Psalm 121:1-2 (ESV)
1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
We are in good hands when we entrust our lives to the hands of the Lord. That is what the Psalmist did, and that is what Jesus did.
Luke 5:16 (HCSB)
Yet He often withdrew to deserted places and prayed.
Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful for today's Word that reminds me where my help comes from. Father, I am comforted by the words of the Psalmist who said; "My times are in your hands".
Father God, I need You, and thank God, I have You. Lord, I am so thankful for Your presence and power in my life. Lord, I trust You; give me faith to trust You more.
Jude 1:24-25 (HCSB)
24 Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless and with great joy, 25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time, now and forever. Amen.
I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
