“Surely
the Lord God will help me; who is he who will condemn me?” Isaiah 50:9
We live in a world of turmoil, fear,
and disappointment. World news can cause us fear. National conditions can cause
us anxiety. Daily circumstances can cause disappointments. In all these things
we can be tempted to doubt God’s concern about the world in general or us in
particular. We might even blame Him for allowing so many problems to exist in
the world or in our lives. Job’s wife had a solution for this attitude. She
told Job to “curse God and die.” Sometimes we are all too ready to do the
cursing part.
We need to remember the truth about
God. The author of Hebrews says, “The Lord is my helper.” Here he is quoting
multiple Old Testament texts and contexts. The Lord is not the adversary of His
children. He is our helper. He is the one who actually keeps us from
condemnation as revealed in Romans 8. Instead of suspecting God of opposing us,
we must remember that He sacrificed His own Son to redeem us and make us His
child.
Dear Father, Thank You for being our
helper. Amen.
