I've looked around this world long enough to know -- my help is not coming from
below. It's not coming from people who barely know their own path, nor from systems
designed to keep people depending on man. My help doesn't come from beneath my feet
or behind my back. No, my help is from above -- from the top. All of it. Every ounce of
strength, peace, provision, clarity, and healing. It all comes from the Lord.
When I say "top," I'm not talking about some elevated position of man or a worldly throne.
I'm talking about the One who sits high and looks low -- the Lord Jesus Christ, the Maker
of heaven and earth. The One who sees me, knows me, and never forgets me. The One
who never slumbers nor sleeps, whose promises do not return void. The One who holds all
things together by the word of His power. That's who my help comes from.
"I will lift up my eyes to the hills --
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth."
-Psalm 121:1-2 (NKJV)
This is not just a verse I repeat- it's my reality.
I've lived this. I've walked through moments
where I thought no one could help me but Him.
And each time I turned my eyes upward, not outward,
He showed up. He never fails. The bottom may offer noise,
confusion, and false hope, but the top - the throne of grace -
offers mercy, strength, and peace that surpasses all understanding.
The Illusion of Help From the World
Many people search for help in all the wrong places. They look to relationships,
money, connections, and temporary escapes. They believe the next opportunity, the next
paycheck, or the next person will be the solution to their struggle. But these are all
"bottom feeders" in comparison to the limitless help that comes from our Father in heaven.
Man can only help according to their limits. Even those who mean well are bound by time,
emotions, and human weakness. But God - He is not limited. He is boundless,
eternal, all - seeing, and all- knowing. His help is not only right on time; it's the best
kind of help because it's never selfish. It doesn't run out. And it always glorifies
Him in the end.
So I no longer panic when the bottom falls out. Why? Because that's not where
my help was coming from in the first place. My help was never rooted in the ground -
it was always in the heavens. My Lord doesn't have to use a ladder to reach me. He
just speaks, and mountains move. He whispers, and storms are silenced. He breathes,
and dry bones live again.
The Weight of Waiting on the Lord
Sometimes the hardest part about needing help is the waiting. It can feel like nothing
is happening, like He's silent. But waiting on help from above is never wasted.
While the world tells us to rush, hustle, and figure it out, the Lord teaches us to
be still and know that He is God.
I've learned that waiting on Him produces endurance, and that endurance builds
character, and that character strengthens my hope. And my hope, when placed in Him, will
never disappoint. Why? Because He's not like man. He doesn't make empty promises
or offer false comfort. He fulfills what He speaks.
"It is better to trust in the Lord
Than to put confidence in man."
-Psalm 118:8 (NKJV)
When I wait on help from the top, I'm not
waiting in fear - I'm waiting in faith. I'm not
pacing the floor - I'm standing on His Word.
I'm not watching the clock - I'm watching His
glory unfold. That's how I know the help is
real. It doesn't come with strings attached or
confusion. It comes with peace.
He Sees Me
Sometimes people walk past you, overlook you, and disregard
your needs. But the Lord sees everything. He saw Hagar in the
wilderness. He saw Hannah in her silent cries. He saw the lame
man at the pool. He sees me too- and He sees you. The world may
see weakness, but He sees someone He's ready to strengthen. The
world may see someone lost, but He sees someone He came to find.
And because He sees me, He sends help that is custom - fit. He knows
exactly what I need even when I don't. Sometimes His help is quiet.
Sometimes it's bold. Sometimes it shows up in people, and other times,
it shows up in way I can't explain. But it always shows up.
The Top Can't Be Defeated
Here's the truth that keeps me grounded: the bottom can be shaken,
but the top cannot be moved. Governments fall, people change,
trends shift - but the throne of my God is forever. And since all
my help comes from the Lord, I have nothing to fear.
If I were depending on this world, I'd be in a state of constant anxiety.
But because my help is anchored in Him, I walk in peace, knowing
that I am cared for, covered, and called. He provides, He protects, He
Speaks and He delivers. Not just once, but over and over again.
I'm not lucky - I'm loved. I'm not just surviving - I'm being sustained.
I'm not forgotten - I'm favored by the One who made the stars.
Let the World Look Low - I'm Looking High
So, let them look low. Let them try to find help in people, titles,
or things. I know where mine comes from. I'm looking up.
My eyes are fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith.
My help isn't coming from the crowd - it's coming from the Cloud
of Glory that followed the Israelites and fills my hear today.
Every good thing in my life didn't come from luck, hard work, or chance.
It came from the Lord. From the Lord who saw fit to help me again
and again, simply because He loves me.
Final Word:
If you've been searching for help from the bottom, look up. The answer isn't
in the crowd - it's in Christ. Your help isn't hiding - it's already here. And when it
comes, it will come with power, purpose, and peace.
"My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth." -Psalm 121:2 (NKJV)
My Lord Jesus is my all the help I will ever need.
