“Lord, We Need Your Help”

Psalms 121:1-8

Help is defined as to give or provide what is necessary to accomplish a task or satisfy a need; contribute strength or means to; render assistance to; cooperate effectively with; aid; assist.

God gives us signs. But they are never enough signs for hard-hearted, unbelieving people. We must trust God in ALL things. He said He would never leave us or forsake us. God does not lie and His word do not go void. Trust Him. Every word He has spoken it will come to past. Some bad yeast. Some Pharisees and Sadducees badgered him again, pressing him to prove himself to them. He told them, “You have a saying that goes, ‘Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky at morning, sailors take warning.’ You find it easy enough to forecast the weather, why can’t you read the signs of the times? An evil and wanton generation is always wanting signs and wonders. The only sign you’ll get is the Jonah sign.” Then he spun around and walked away. On their way to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring along bread. In the meantime, Jesus said to them, “Keep a sharp eye out for Pharisee-Sadducee yeast.” Thinking he was scolding them for forgetting bread, they discussed in whispers what to do. Jesus knew what they were doing and said, “Why all these worried whispers about forgetting the bread? Baby believers! Haven’t you caught on yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves of bread and the five thousand people, and how many baskets of fragments you picked up? Or the seven loaves that fed four thousand, and how many baskets of leftovers you collected? Haven’t you realized yet that bread isn’t the problem? The problem is yeast, Pharisee-Sadducee yeast.” Then they got it: that he wasn’t concerned about eating, but teaching, the Pharisee-Sadducee kind of teaching. Jesus healed a leper. Then with just a word He healed a Roman soldier’s servant who had some kind of paralyzing disease. Jesus also healed Peter’s mother-in-law of a fever by touching her hand. He cast out demons with His word, calmed the wind and the raging sea, then cast out a whole legion of demons from two men.

Jesus healed another paralyzed man and forgave his sins. Then He healed a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years, and He raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead. Jesus also healed two blind men by touching their eyes. And He cast out a dumb demon, enabling the possessed man to begin speaking. Jesus healed a man who was both blind and mute. Jesus fed 5,000 men plus thousands more women and children with five loaves and two fish.

I come by this morning to remind you, if Jesus did it before He will do it again. Your help is already here. Trust Him!!! Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Call on Jesus, He will help you. Be bless and I love you!!!
