Have you ever been struggling with something? I don’t know … working through a problem or completing an assignment or some difficult meeting at work or just getting the kids out the front door for school of a morning – just some every day, routine, run of the mill thing, but on this particular day it seems impossible?
Why is that? Why am I banging my head up against this brick wall again?
If I had a penny for every time I’ve done that, and just kept on banging my head up against that wretched brick wall, I’d be rich. I’m sure you’ve been there too. You just need a helping hand.
These days, people get all upset when they read in the Book of Genesis that God made Eve to be Adam’s “helper”. It just doesn’t seem right to say that sort of thing in this day and age.
And yet, that same Hebrew word for “helper” is used right throughout the Old Testament, most frequently of God, in the sense of Him being our “helper”.
Psalm 68:19 Praise the Lord! Every day he helps us with the loads we must carry. He is the God who saves us.
Think about that just for a moment when you’re banging your head up against that brick wall … again! God is right here with you, ready, willing and able to help you with that one, insurmountable problem – that one thing that’s driving you crazy, that one thing you just can’t seem to get through.
Not just some days. But every day.
He is the God who saves us.
That’s His Word. Fresh … for you … today.

I know GOD created me, and loves me; will HE HELP me ? It is nearly 3 years ago my mother died aged 91, in Perth. The executor, a S.African Jewish lawyer has told lies to me, and in sworn Affidavit, and to the Attorney General, and to Supreme Court the executor has created another beneficiary where he is sole trustee. I cannot find a legal practitioner of INTEGRITY to deal with this matter under WA laws. I have been denied the accounts of the estate. Also, the Legal Practitioners Complaints Committee does not want to know.
God is my ultimate arbiter !
