ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

READ:

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
-Psalm 46:1

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Job 5-7
Acts 8:1-25

An acquaintance of mine was hunting with friends near Balmoral, the country estate of the queen of England. As they walked, he twisted his ankle to badly that he couldn't go on, so he told his friend to continue and he would wait by the side of the road.
As he sat there, a car came down the road, slowed and stopped. The woman driving rolled the window down and asked if he was okay. He explained and said he was waiting for his friends to return. She said, "Get in; I'll take you back to where you are staying." He limped to the car and opened the door only to realise that it was Queen Elizabeth!
As shocking as receiving help from the queen of England may be, we have an offer of help that is even more astounding. The Creator-God of the universe descends into our world, sees our trouble, and offers to marshal His resources to help us.
As the psalmist confidently affirms, "God isa very present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). Our Saviour helps by giving us grace to endure, His Word to sustain us, friends to encourage and pray for us, and the confidence that He will ultimately work it all together for our spiritual good.
Next time you feel stranded along life's road, look for your Helper. - Joe Stowell
Lord, I'm thankful that when I experience trouble You are waiting and wanting to help. Teach me to look to You and to rest in Your kind and loving care until You deliver me safely home.

Rejoice! Your God is a help King!

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More

Don't Lose Sight

...when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem...
Luke 2:45

We might as well face it, strife has even infiltrated our church life. It is true enough that the Church is now the Church militant. But, as such, its warfare ought to be that of dedication to revealed truth and divine...More
