Our Help In Times of Trouble By Lynette Kittle "My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth"  - Psalm 121:2 When trouble comes, what is our first reaction? Do we turn to God first, seeking His help? Or, do we first look to other people, like family members, friends, or neighbors to take care of us? Do we check to see what government programs there are to aid and assist us before going to God? Although God can work through all of the above to help us during times of trouble, He wants us to turn first to Him for help, before asking others for assistance. Yet, why do many of us choose to go to Him as a last resort? Often the enemy of our soul convinces us that God isn't willing to help us, especially if we've been the one to get ourselves into trouble. He convinces us that because we messed up, we don't deserve God's help and therefore we have no right to ask Him because we aren't innocent in the situation. Even if so, God wants us to turn to him. Psalm 91:15 explains, "He will call on me, and I will answer Him; I will be with Him in trouble, I will deliver Him and honor Him." God's willingness to help us is not determined on whether or not we're responsible for the trouble we're experiencing, but rather on His great compassion and mercy towards us Isaiah 30:18 tells us how God longs to be gracious to us, to rise up and show us compassion. During times of distresses such as sickness, unemployment, and more, like Job there may people who are quick to point fingers at us, as well as say things about God that aren't true (Job 42:7). But rather than agreeing and joining in with them, John 10:10 explains, we need to recognize how the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. Revelation 12:10 explains how Satan the accuser of the brethren, accuses us day and night before God.   CONTINUE READING →
