A Present Help

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1, KJV).

One of the hardest things for most of us to do is to feel total dependency on another person. We strive to be independent, thinking that before we ask for help, we have to do everything in our power first. Of course, there are some who would take it to the extreme and simply refuse to ask for help. Yet, those who know God do not have to be 'do-it-yourselfers', because we know that by ourselves we can do nothing.

Jesus remind us in John 15:5 that "...without me ye can do nothing", and therefore regardless of the situations we find ourselves in, when our hearts are overwhelmed and nothing around us makes any sense, it is a comfort to know that we can depend on our Heavenly Father to be there to help and see us through. That is more than we can say about anybody else.

If you are a 'do-it-yourselfer', why not allow God to do what He alone can do? He is willing to help, if you are willing to trust Him with your cares and your worries. You will find it makes a world of a difference, and your load will be that much lighter. Why not do it today?
