Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
(Psalm 63:7)
The Bible says, “If God is for us Who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). In the Bible there was young man named Daniel who trusted God with all his heart. He prayed to God at all times. Because of his faith in God, he had to face many afflictions. But the Lord delivered him from them all because he trusted in Him (Psalm 34:19).
Today you may have many people to help you. You may feel contented and satisfied because of your parents, relatives, and friends are with you to help and defend you. But, you should know that men are mere mortals who are alive today and dead tomorrow. Their love is short lived! So, like Daniel, you also pray saying, “Lord, You be with me and lead me.” He will surely help you and comfort you (Psalm 86:17).
A young man was very close with his friends and happily spent time with them. Daily, his mother told him, “Don’t be contended by depending on your friends only. Trust your God always and depend on Him only.” But, he thought in his mind that his mother was abnormal and crazy. One day, he went into the sea to play and swim without the permission of his parents. While inside the waters, his friends just went away from his sight. He was not an expert swimmer in deep waters. As he was struggling to swim, he called out his friends for help. But they hid themselves from him for fun. As he tried to keep afloat, he remembered his mother’s advice. Son! Seek the Lord Who is your help always.” This advice began to ring again and again in his ears. Finally, he cried out to God. The compassionate God heard his prayers and miraculously saved him. He learnt a good lesson on that day.
Do not depend on your friends or others. If you do, you are sure to be disappointed one day. Seek the Lord with all your heart. He will be your help. Psalmist David made the Lord his help and says, “Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings” (Psalm 63:7). Then, you are sure to be strengthened and comforted by God Almighty.
