Today's encouragement comes from Psalm 124:8, where David wrote these words:
"Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."Regenerated churched Christians find all their help in Christ alone. Where it counts most, no one else can assist us. No matter where *others* may go for their sustenance—we sincere children of God know that our deepest and most profound needs must be met by our Triune God (alone).
. . . And this is a very wise and reasonable approach to life. After all: God "made heaven and earth." If the Lord has that much amazing power, then surely He can take care of the concerns of us, His people. Is our help "in the name of the Lord" today?
