The God of Help

Tuesday 31 May
READ: Isa. 41: 10 – 16
MORE LESSON: Psa. 121: 1 – 6

One vital determinant of the quality of help a man obtains in destiny is the issue of who is giving the help. This is why I want to introduce you to the God of help. He is the God who put the universe together in six days. If He can create the entire universe in six days, then helping you cannot be too difficult for Him. Consider His promise to you, So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand: Isa 41:10 (NIV). Your help is bigger than man; it has its root in the Creator of Heaven and earth. This is the reason you should not look unto men but unto the Omnipotent God who, when He helps you, causes men to help you. Psa. 121: 1 says: 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 promised that He will not suffer your foot to be moved. . When the God of help stands by you, your feet are steady and your steps do not stagger in the race of life (Psa. 18: 36). This means that no one can remove you when He has planted you. The enemy might even set ambush for you but divine help makes you outwit them as you operate above natural faculties. God's help in dealing with your enemies is expressed in Isa 41: 11(NIV): All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. I declare that God will help you to the point that your enemy will be confounded and all that are waiting for your steps to stagger will wait in vain.
The God of your help neither slumbers nor sleeps. When you are asleep and the enemies are shooting their arrows, there is One who is awake 24 hours a day throughout eternity watching over you. So you have a Helper that doesn't sleep and is working while you sleep. The enemy specialises in attacking while men sleep (Matt 13: 25) but the enemy is inconsequential even when you are asleep because your Helper doesn't sleep. This is the reason the sun will not smite you by the day or the moon by night (Psa. 121: 6-7). You also do not need to be afraid of the terror by night; nor the arrow that flies by day (Psa. 91: 6). Day or night, your Helper doesn't fail.
There shall be no accident, misfortune, violence or plague around you this year. The God who has been our help in ages past will continue to be your portion in the land of the living. Stay with this God, and don’t seek or follow another god, Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips: Psa. 16:4.
