MUSINGS FROM PASTOR BRAD
When you are in need of something or you need to find something out, I bet you do what I do: you Google it. Maybe you might turn to YouTube if you need help with something. Then, you might call a friend or a neighbor or a family neighbor. Maybe you might turn to Wikipedia for a piece of information or find out some fact about something. When we need help with something, we now have a variety of resources that we can turn to, many of them at right at our fingertips with a few presses of a button.
But there are somethings we need help with that can’t be solved by a Google search or a YouTube video. Sometimes we need help and we have to turn to something a little greater than that. Psalm 121:1-2 says, “I lift up my eyes to the hills—from where will my help come? 2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Sadly, at times, we turn to the Lord only as a last resort. When the problem seems too big for us, we turn to our God in desperation. We turn to the Lord in the last moments, often out of fear. Of course, there are those problems, those issues, that are just too big that frankly only the Lord can deal with, that only the Lord can handle for us.
The good news for us is that our Lord is there, ready and waiting for us to bring our problems to this loving God, this loving Savior, who is ready to bear our burdens and problems, ready to be our help. After all, this loving Lord has already defeated sin and death for us and has the promise of eternal life for us. This Lord promises to be with us always to the end of the age. This Savior promises that nothing will ever separate us from God’s love in Jesus Christ. This Lord is ready and willing to hear our problems, to be our help, to be our refuge and strength in the midst of trouble.
We all have problems, both big and small. We can turn to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ first to be our help. God does not have to be our last resort but can be our first. For our loving Lord is there to provide us comfort and hope. We might not always get the help we want or the answers we desire, but if nothing else, we get the assurance that we are not alone, that our problems are heard, and that our Savior Jesus Christ is with us, that your Savior is with you, always, till the end of the age. And there are no pop up ads, like on Google or YouTube!
May God bless you this week and always!
