“My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth!” Psalm 121:2 NLT
I am amazed at the technological advances I have seen in my lifetime. It only makes me wonder what the next sixty years will bring. Oh, I won’t see them, I just wonder. Despite all the modern-day advances we have, I still need help at times to maneuver around something I am experiencing for the first time. Once I get the hang of it, whatever I’m working on goes much smoother. It got me to thinking, no matter how far we advance in technology, discover new methods of accomplishing tasks, or coming up with new inventions we can advertise on television for $19.95 plus shipping, it is only through the wisdom God gives us to perform such tasks.
Christians should be thankful for the gift of brilliant, intelligent people the Lord has given us. Advances in the field of medicine have saved millions of lives over the years. I mentioned technology above that has made our lives easier. Space exploration has made it possible to conduct scientific experiments that could not be done otherwise. Gifted musicians and entertainers provide a soothing outlet in our fast-paced world. I could go on and on, and I’m sure you can think of some examples. The bottom line is that God provides all these things to help us.
The psalmist said, “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” (Ps.121:2 nlt) The ultimate source of help in our lives is God the Father. There is nothing He can’t do to help us. He created the heavens and the earth by speaking them into existence. God will come to our aid when we need help. He may even use some of the resources listed above. Even if you just need a song.
