Text: Psalm 146:3-6
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
There is a saying that your network is your net worth, meaning that the social connections you have and the relationships you build with others can have a direct impact on your financial success and overall wealth. While this is true on the surface, if God does not place your help in someone’s hands, no matter how close, you are to him, he may not remember to help you. This has led many into frustration.
The Psalmist said, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2. Your help does not come from abroad but from above.
Man may even have a genuine intention of helping you but could fail for reasons beyond his control. But our God can never fail because everything on Earth, beneath the Earth and in the Heavens above and Hell below are under his control.
He rules in the affairs of Men. Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” This implies that the Lord controls the mind of a king as easily as he directs the course of a stream. If anybody succeeds in helping you, give praise and glory to God because he alone put your favour in his eyes. Never give credit to your intelligence.
Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very day his plans perish.Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever” Psalm 146:3-6
Action Nugget: Look up to the One who cannot fail and you will never be disappointed in Jesus name.
