My Help And My Hope.

Text — Psalms 146:1-5
Message
There is one thing every child needs: that is, help. Help is the assistance or support that we receive from someone when we are in need or have difficulty. We are always happy when someone shows up to give us a helping hand.
However, what gives us more joy should not be that we have received help now, but that we have the confidence or hope that someone will always be there to help us in time of need. This gives us peace and courage. If receiving help from ordinary men gives relief and joy what of receiving help from God Almighty.
Someone is considered blessed or happy when he or she has God Almighty as his or her helper. Unlike people who cannot always be there for us, there is assurance that God will always be ready to help His people. You will never find a more dependable helper than the God of Jacob. He is ready to answer when you call. He is always willing to meet all your needs. Let your hope rest in the Lord. He will show up to help you in your time of need.
