Tues., 6/30/20 Devotion (Ps. 124:8)

Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 124:8, where we read these words:

"Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."

To have the help of God is a big deal. To have the Lord fighting for us is a great asset. After all, He "made heaven and earth." Think about it: the god-less have The Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth as their enemy. He is al-ways set against them. Even as they live, God is simply allowing them to heap up wrath, that will be unleashed on them on the Great Judgment Day.

. . . But not so for the regenerate church of Christ. We believers are aided and supported in our struggle down here. Our lives are not easy, but our victory is always certain—because the church has a good Captain, who helps us. For this, let us be thankful, joyful, and always faithful in calling upon our God.
