Are you down? Look up!

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." – Psalm 121:1-2

Where can we go when we need help? The psalmist tells us we find help when we lift our eyes to the hills. He continues, "My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth." Wow! When we are spiritually struggling, an emergency call to the God of the universe brings him to our rescue! He is just one prayer away. His power saves. His power can invigorate your faith. He loves and longs to help his children. He is never too busy and your problems are never too insignificant—he knows you need him. It's up to you to make the call. It's up to you to look to him for help. When things look down—look up—to the hills—where your help comes from! Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!

If things begin to take a downward turn today, get up from what you’re doing, walk outside, look up to the hills (or the heavens), and say aloud, “I need you, Lord. Please help!”
