May 21, God works for you.

I lift up my eyes to the hills.

From where does my help come?

My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot be moved.

He who keeps you will not slumber. Psalm 121, 1 through 3. Do you need help? I do.

Where do you look for help? When the psalmist lifted up his eyes to the hills and asked,

from where does my help come? He answered, my help comes from the Lord, not from the hills,

but from the God who made the hills. My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. So he

reminded himself of two great truths. One is that God is a mighty

creator over all the problems of life. And the other is that God never sleeps. He who keeps you

will not slumber. God is a tireless worker. He never wearies. Think of God as a

worker in your life. Yes, it is amazing. We are prone to think of ourselves as workers in God's life,

but the Bible wants us to first be amazed that God is a worker in our lives.

From of old, no one has heard or perceived by the ear,

no I has seen a God besides you who works for those who wait for him.

Isaiah 64.4.

God is working for us around the clock.

He does not take days off and he does not sleep. In fact, he is so eager to work for us that he goes

around looking for more work to do for people who will trust him. The eyes of the Lord

run to and fro throughout the whole earth to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward him.

2 Chronicles 169.
