Text: Psalm 121:1-8
1(A Song of degrees.) I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Message
It was a difficult time for the family of Mr. Alex financially. So, he asked his friend Mr. Francis, for some money. Mr. Francis was willing to help and promised to give him some money the next day. Unknown to Mr. Francis, he had to travel to represent his boss in another city the next day and was not available when Mr. Alex came for the money. The help from people is not reliable. It fails when you least expect.

True help comes from God. He forgives and cleanses from all sins. He helps to overcome suggestions to do evil. He heals and gives perfect health. He gives wisdom and assists us in our studies. He helps when things are difficult and keeps us from evil. He gives strength to the weak, supplies our needs and much more. To receive help from God, you need to ask Him and be specific about your need. He demands that you should ask, although He knows your needs. If you are still stealing, telling lies, fighting or engaging in any form of disobedience, repent of all your sins, ask God to forgive you and help you to obey Him every day.

Prayer for today: Dear Lord, I give my life to You, help me in all my ways.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
