HIS HELP= MY HOPE

For the LORD God will help me—.(Isa. 50:7). These words are a prophecy of what Jesus would say as He faced the cross, the day when He gave His back to the smiters and His cheeks to them that plucked the beard from His face. He was confident in divine support and trusted the Father. My friend, your sorrows are but dust compared to the mountain of His suffering. Do you believe the Lord will help you? Jesus took the place of sinful men, as their substitute and sacrifice, it was necessary that He be deserted by the Father as He suffered in our place.   You have never had to cry,”Why hast Thou forsaken me?” But even then Jesus still relied upon God, can you not do the same? He died for you and made it possible that you would never be forsaken by God. Is that not a reason to rejoice? Whatever difficulties you face today, say,”the LORD God will help me”. Press on with a firm resolve that God will not disappoint you. With Him as your Helper, who can hinder? With His great power to assist you , can anything be too difficult? Start your day joyfully. Don’t allow any shadow of doubt to blot out the sunshine of His promise. He is always faithful to keep His word.   Note: Thoughts for this article were taken from a devotion by C.H. Spurgeon—HDS
