"I will raise my eyes to the mountains, where will my help come from?. My help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. "
Psalm 121: 1,2

When King David wrote this psalm, he lived one of the saddest moments of his experience: his great friend and counselor, the prophet Samuel, had just passed away; He was crossing the desert of Paran, pursued by his own son Absalom. How would you feel, if the people you trust the most abandon you, betray you and prepare to fight against you? Where would you go, in search of advice and encouragement, if your great counselor had died? What would you do if you love someone, and this love is forbidden?
There is a story of a shipwrecked man who stayed on an island, built a cabin with the things that had been left, went out to look for food and when he returned, he found that he had burned everything with the fire that he had made the previous night. column of smoke rose to the heavens and with smoke their hopes, now he was without anyone to rescue him and without where to take refuge and with no food. With sadness and anger he cried out: God, why are you doing this to me?
The next day, he woke up with a noise. It was a boat that approached the beach. They came to rescue him. When he asked them: How did you know that I was here? The men on the ship said. We saw yesterday a column of smoke that was rising and that served as a signal.
It is very easy to be discouraged when things seem to go wrong. But we should not lose heart in the midst of such circumstances, because our help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. Today I need to remember that the next time the smoke rises after having consumed my hopes, they can become the smoke signal that announces the grace of God for my life.
How many times have we felt in life like this lonely man in the middle of a desert island waiting to receive human help coming from the north or from the south, from the east or from the west and the more I look, my gaze is lost in the distance while my arms fall full of despair. It is very hard, having to give up and give up things or people you love because your feelings are not right. But today the Word of God says. I will lift my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help does not come from men, my help comes from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. He will not leave me or forsake me and use any smoke signal to bring his grace and power into action in my life.
Today we can say: Sir, sometimes life seems hard, but life without you is lonely as a castaway on a desert island. However, even on that lonely island I will raise my eyes and voice to you who are in heaven and you in your love send me your help. What greater security I can have and know that the creator of the heavens and the earth is interested in me. That's why I'm convinced that my help and my help come from you.
At this moment I say to my Father: My help has been you, in the shadow of your wings, I will rejoice. my soul is attached to you, because your right hand has sustained me ...
Donot matter how hard we tire under the sun and work and the cold of the night, the Lord will always keep us. He will take care that his people do not fall. Do not be hurt, neither by the open attacks, nor by the secret attempts of your enemies. The Lord will prevent the evil that you fear; Yes, and it will sanctify you and take away and alleviate the evil you fear. He will preserve the soul, so that it will not be contaminated by sin, and disturbed by affliction; He will keep you from perishing forever. He will sustain you in life and death; will accompany you to your work every morning of your days, and will accompany you when you return home to your rest, when the night of old age falls you will be called. It is a protection for life. The Spirit, who is your Preserver and Comforter, will dwell with us forever.
Although we are going through moments of pain, perhaps a medical diagnosis, the lack of love, the crisis, I come to tell you that: darkness will cover the earth and darkness the nations but over us Jehovah will dawn and over us his glory will be seen. I have lived so many things and God always arrives on time in the worst moments, he will always answer us, even if your mother and father left you, with all Jehovah will pick me up, God is a God of details cares for the smallest things of our being, if he has that to erase feelings of your heart so that you are happy will do it, for him there are no impossible, every medical diagnosis can be reverted by the power of Jesus, whatever your situation tell Jesus: come, to my help, to my early help oh, savior!
He is our source of water of life, who sustains us, that's why it's good that when we feel bad in spirit we can go to Him alone, to the powerful God, who helps us overcome all adversity, God great and powerful and never He has lost a battle, he always gives us the victory.
Trust in God, He is the strong rock in which we can trust everything we have, only trust in Him and everything will turn out well. God knows everything we need, sees everything that moves around us, and on the way strengthens us so that we do not fall.
