Where is My Help?

Psalm 121: 1-3

I look up to the mountains does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber

Ok, so it's 2:30 AM and I cannot sleep, I ask the Lord why, and this is what I get. This must be for someone because I don't get up at 2:30 in the morning, I would normally be sleeping right now.

There are some of you, and you know who you are that are going through weariness, I get it. Here is the thing, be careful in this stage because when we get weary while being between 2 doors, the enemy will reek havoc on you and your emotions if you are not careful.

I want to encourage you this morning, and guess what? I am doing this without coffee. There have been times when I have been weary. Your just tired. Sometimes you just feel like you give, and give, and give and now your like Lord, hey, yes remember me? You know I been giving and giving but where is the receiving part? Does this sound familiar? Has God forgotten about you? Has God missed you or worse, have you missed God? The answer for is no.

There was one time when I was a kid that I was going to six flags. I remember the night before I set out all of my clothes, we packed some food and drinks and got everything ready for the next day. I mean, we want to be ready right? So we go to bed early because we got to get up early and head out because we want to beat some of the traffic and get a great parking spot. Anyways, that night, the night before and in bed.... and guess what? I can't hardly sleep. I toss, I turn and can't sleep why? Because of all the fun and excitement that I am going to have on the next day.

For many of you this is where your at. Your anxious, your excited and you have every right to be, God's got some pretty big plans and things in store for you.. but you know what? Your help comes from the Lord. God is going to sustain you. Your help comes from the Lord. There is a scripture that says cast your cares upon the Lord because He cares for you. Some cast it out like your fishing. You throw out that care on the alter but guess what? You reel that thing right back in, and the devil will be sure to help you reel it back in so you can own it. It's not yours... stop throwing that care out with the fishing reel. You got to let go. Is this easy? If it were easy everyone would do it. Leave the reel at the alter along with the care. You will thank yourself for that later.

There is another group of people out there and this is where you may be. You been struggling for years. You feel like you take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. Sometimes you struggle getting 2 steps forward... You are caught and stuck and it's no fun. It's hard to paint that sweet little smile on your face on Sunday morning because when your struggling, it's not an easy thing to smile. Can we just be real for a sec? So what must you do? Can I continue being honest? There is no fairy dust that God can sprinkle and it's all gone. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning the Bible says. You know what, the Lord will sustain you. The Lord doesn't sleep. The Lord loves you. I can't explain why people go through things for years, but no matter what I go through, the Bible doesn't change. God still heals, sets free, delivers. Keep holding on until you get that breakthrough. Don't let that thing break you, keep going until you break through.

This is not easy, but with God are things ever easy? He will call you out of the boat to walk on water. He will tell you to leave everything that's familiar and call you to a place that's out of your comfort zone, and to a place where there are no connections. He will put you in a place where you are surrounded by giants. He will allow you to be imprisoned or to be in a fiery furnace and let's not forget the back side of the desert and more... but yet, I serve Him because I would have it no other way. This road isn't easy. This is the narrow road, but can I just tell you that it's worth it. The struggle is worth it, the fight is worth it, everything we go through in life, it's worth it.

I hope this has helped some of you. To God be the glory. Keep doing what your doing and don't stop until He tells you.

Be blessed!
