Just Help Me!

Psalm 30:10 "Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help."

       Heeeeelllp! Heeeeelllp! Lord, I need your heeellp! Some of you may know that chorus from Erica Campbell's song titled, Help. Lyrics the writer above knows all about and I am sure some of you can agree to have been or may be in a place where you need H E L P! It may be to finish school, to deal with the loss of a loved one, to stop living from paycheck to paycheck, or whatever the case; when it all boils down each and everyone of us need God's Help. So David pleads for God to hear him and show mercy. Then concludes that he needs The Lord's Help. Let's talk about that.

           It is funny that we do not start appreciating people until they leave. Someone may move, be terribly ill, or die for us to realize how much we need them. When we should learn to appreciate those around us every moment we get. Same mindset when thinking about God. God has been helping us before we were even created. Monday night at VBS(vacation Bible school) we touched on how God created the world. He made sure we had everything we needed BEFORE we were here. See God is always thinking about us which was so comforting to me and God enlighten me on a whole new revelation once helping go over part of Genesis with the children. Then we get here, mess it up, and He sends His Son, Jesus, to die for us so that anyone who believes in Christ will be in Paradise. Again, Him being our Help! So in actuality we do not call on God's Help because we are helpless, but because we know where our help comes from. David knew where God was, Who He Is, and how to reach Him just as we should. 

            God wants us to be confident in our relationship with Him. I want you to know that no matter how hard it may seem or blurry the picture may look that is your future, God cares! You wouldn't be here if your future was obsolete. You are alive for a reason. There are lives that still need to be touched through Him using you. Whatever you are going through is very important to Him and He WILL come through. Later on in the book of Psalm David looked back and said it was good he went through what he went through because of the spiritual gain that came with his tribulations(Psa. 119:71). Some of you may be singing, pleading, praying, Lord Help me but He already Is! Work with His Help and not against it by staying rooted in His Word, surrounding yourself around His people, and not giving up. Your Help is not on the way...It Is The Way, The Truth, & The Light! Jesus is a PRESENT Help in times of trouble(Psa. 46:1). We are not waiting on God to Help us. He is waiting on us to realize He IS Helping us, Faith! Faith can't see the outcome, but it believes The Promise!
