Where Does My Help Come From?

A lot is coming at the Mileur family right now, but our eyes are still looking up.

Where Does My Help Come From?

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.”
— Psalm 121:1-2

Life has a way of placing mountains in front of us that feel too high to climb and too heavy to move. In those moments, it is natural to look around, searching for help, answers, relief, or someone who can make sense of it all.

But the psalmist points us in a better direction.

Look up.

Our help does not come from our own strength. It does not come from perfect circumstances, easy days, or having everything figured out.

Our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

That means the same God who formed the mountains is greater than the mountains we face. The same God who stretched out the heavens is able to reach into our situation. The same God who holds creation together can hold a weary family together.

He is not distant. He is not unaware. He is not late.

When trouble comes, faith does not pretend the mountain is not there.

Faith simply refuses to believe the mountain is greater than God.

So today, whatever we are facing, we are choosing to lift our eyes. Not because the burden is light, but because our God is faithful. Not because we have all the answers, but because we know where our help comes from.

Our help comes from the Lord.

Let us Pray - Dear Heavenly Father, when life feels heavy and the mountains seem too high, teach us to lift our eyes to You. Strengthen our family, calm our hearts, and remind us that our help does not come from this world, but from You, the Maker of heaven and earth. Hold us close, guide our steps, and give us peace that only You can give. Amen.

Ray's quote, "The mountain may be real, but so is the Maker of heaven and earth."

If you would, please pray for my Dad and my sister Joyce.
