"Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."
True churched Christians find their help in Christ alone. No one else can really and fully assist them. No matter where *others* go for their sustenance--the sincere child of God knows that his or her deepest and most profound needs must be met by the Lord (alone).
And this is a very wise and reasonable approach to life. After all: God "made heaven and earth." If He has that much amazing power--surely He can take care of the concerns of His people. Is our help "in the name of the Lord" today?
[Puritan quote of the day: "It is very sinful to give way to vain thoughts at this time [of hearing preaching]; because, when we are hearing the word, we are in God's special presence." --Thomas Wat-
