LET GOD HELP YOU
Memorise: Come now, and let us reason together saith the LORD:
through your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be
red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18
Read: Matthew 11:28-30, 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest.
29 Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye
shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Bible in one year: Joshua 4-6, Job 34:16-30
Those who realised their
spiritual poverty have been given the invitation by the Lord Jesus to come to
Him for help. This invitation is for those who need grace and mercy, and those
who know that unless the Lord helps them they will never be able to amount to
anything. Laws and good works are good but they are never sufficient as a
condition for our right standing with God. We need to acknowledge our
helplessness and come to the one who can help us out of our weaknesses. Today,
there are so many struggles we go through out of self-imposed religious rites
and traditions, but Jesus is telling us that there is the need to be free from
these burdens.
It is the help we receive from
Jesus that makes our yoke very light. When we are motivated through the help of
God in the grace and love we receive, we can always approach him and He will
always reason with us. Until God helps a man, he can never find rest for his
soul. The commandments of the lord are not a burden, but they are profitable
for doctrine, reproof, correction, and for instruction in righteousness so that
at the end of the day, we all can be thoroughly furnished unto good works. You immediately
find peace when you see that your sins are forgiven by God. You find peace when you see that your sins are
forgiven by God. You find peace when you see the work of Christ on the cross
being appropriated in your life. It is in Christ alone that one can cast all
the anxieties of this life, knowing well that He will never fail you.
Are you in a tight corner, a
corner so tight that unless God helps you, you will never be able to survive?
Then you are a candidate for the help of God. At every given point in our
lives, God is always ready to move in and give you your miracle. You must be
ready to cooperate with God through obedience to His word in all circumstance.
Those who believe this sins are not ‘too bad’ cannot get anything from God.
Those who are in the business of always rationalizing what God asks them to do,
cannot get anything significant from God.
To receive help from God, be
willing to do what God says. Turn away from your head knowledge and look at the
Word of liberty that is able to save you and present you blameless before your
maker. If there are un-confessed sins in your life, you need to come straight
to God and get it right with Him. It is on this premises that you can receive
the help of the Almighty God. When there is nothing standing between you and
God, then you can come with confidence and boldness to Him and ask for help in
times of need.
Key point
If there are sins you haven’t confessed in your life, God will not
be able to help you.
