Help from the Maker of Heaven and Earth

“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:2 (ESV) In seasons when the heart feels torn between gratitude and sorrow, this truth steadies us again.

Some weeks feel heavier than others. Since Easter, my heart has carried both gratitude and sorrow.

The Cross and the empty tomb remind me again: I am His. Grace has rescued me from darkness and set my life in His hands.

Yet sorrow lingers. The distance from family and the uncertainty of this path have weighed on my spirit. The journey has not looked as I imagined.

Still, the Spirit draws me back. Nearness to God, through His Word and prayer, remains my anchor. He has not failed me. Again and again, He lifts me. This week, He led me to Psalm 121:2.

This is not distant help. It is personal. Present. Faithful. The Lord is our covenant keeper. He does not change. He does not forget. He does not grow weary.

He is not only willing. He is able. The Maker of heaven and earth sustains us when our strength fails, and our hearts grow tired.

Our confidence cannot rest in outcomes or timelines. It rests in the Lord alone. He is our help, yesterday, today, and forever.

As you walk into this week, lift your eyes. Your help is not found in what shifts and fades. Your help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth.

Shalom, Jacques
