The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
The Lord is my helper. - Hebrews 13:6
This is a very encouraging view of the Most High God: He is the helper of His people, and therefore it is that they are more than conquerors.
Beloved, let us remember this, when called to perform self-denying duties, or to pass through great and sore troubles. We can do nothing right, apart from God; but we can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth us. He will help us in every distress, bring us out of every trouble, lead us through the world with honour, and land us safe on the shores of the heavenly Canaan; all this is promised to every one that trust in Him, waits for Him, walks with Him, and aim habitually to glorify Him.
What sweet encouragement is this; we have an omnipotent Helper, God in the person of His Son is our Deliverer: let us come up out of the wilderness leaning on our Beloved. Let us not grieve His love, or dishonour His grace.
Let us keep a clear conscience, maintain a holy walk, exercise simple faith on our covenant God, and then we may boldly say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I will not fear what man may do unto me."
To look to Jesus as He rose,
Confirms my faith, disarm my foes;
Exalted on His glorious throne,
I see Him make my cause His own;
Then all my anxious cares subside,
For Jesus lives and will provide.
