“I lift up my eyes to the mountains and ask: from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:1-2).
Have you ever found yourself looking at the “mountains” in your life and asking: “From where will my help come?” Perhaps your eyes are fixed on something that seems great, strong, powerful—be it money, influential people, or your own strength. I know, it is natural to want to seek help in what appears solid. But here is the truth: all these mountains will melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. It is futile to trust in what is transient, in what is a mountain today and a valley tomorrow. God is telling you: “Stop looking to the sides and look at Me! I am your true source of help, your unshakable strength.”
Now, consider what this means in practice. Yes, we need help—for the soul, for the body, for daily challenges. But from where will it come? Not from the great ones of the earth, not from wealth, not from what seems impressive. All of this is fragile, temporary. The true help, which never fails, comes from the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth. And here is the detail that makes the difference: this help, these blessings and protection are certain for those who are faithful to Him, who choose to live according to His will. Trusting in God is not just a feeling, it is a stance, it is deciding that He is the only one in whom you will place your hope.
And do you know what happens when you stop clinging to the “mountains” and cling to God? You experience a peace that cannot be explained, a security that does not depend on circumstances. God has promised to supply your needs here on earth and to lead you to heaven through Jesus, our Savior. But this promise is for the faithful servants, who stand firm in His Word and obey His Law. It is no use wanting blessings without living the way He commands. So, today, make a choice: stop trusting in the transient and decide to trust only in the Lord. Obey His Word, and you will see that help comes from the God who is greater than any mountain. -Adapted from H. Müller. Until tomorrow, if the Lord permits.
Pray with me: Dear God, it is true that I often ask myself: “From where will my help come?” I confess that, many times, my eyes are fixed on what seems great and solid, on what appears to be the solution to my challenges. But today I recognize that all these mountains are fragile and temporary, ready to melt like wax before You, the Lord of all the earth. Teach me to stop seeking help in what is transient and to look only to You, my true source of help and my unshakable strength.
My Father, today I ask You to help me redirect my trust, to take my eyes off what is fragile and temporary and to place them on You. Give me wisdom to understand that true help—for my soul, my body, and my daily challenges—does not come from the great ones of this world, but from You, who never fail. I ask that You strengthen me to make the choice to live according to Your will, positioning myself as Your faithful servant, so that I may receive Your blessings and protection. Teach me to trust in You not only with feelings, but with firm actions of obedience to Your powerful Law.
Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for promising me a peace that cannot be explained and a security that does not depend on circumstances, supplying my needs here on earth and guiding me to heaven through Jesus, my hope. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is the foundation that sustains my hope, a living flame that lights my path. Your commandments are cords of love that draw me close to You, a symphony of grace that resonates in my soul. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
