Daily Bread – February 27, 2024 (The Third Day – Genesis 1:9-13) Psalms 57:2 – I will cry to God Most High; to God Who accomplishes it for me. Where Do We Look For Help? Today, there is trouble on every side. There are spiritual, physical, and financial problems everywhere we turn. The nations reel like a drunken man and stagger on the brink of collapse and self-destruction because of their wickedness and iniquity. Should the people of God be moved? Should we bow to the circumstances and the cares of this world? Should we be afraid and look to men, or to our own strength, for help? By no means! We are not appointed to partake of the judgments of this world; we are those who are to arise and shine! We are those who are given power to prosper in the time of famine (Jeremiah 17:5-8; Genesis 12:8, 13:1-2, 26:12). We are those who trust in the Lord and are continually under the shelter of His provision (Psalm 91:1-16, 1:1-3)! Trusting God makes all of the difference. Blessed is the person that makes the Lord the sole object of his trust. Yet, at the same time cursed is the man that makes the arm of flesh his trust (Jeremiah 17:5-8). God will not be confused with the help and provision of men. If we are going to receive God’s help, then we must be willing to come over to His side and realize how He does not need a supporting team. He has the power and willingness to be the sole Provider and Reward of all who will put their trust in Him. God stands opposite of the world and the arm of flesh, and refuses to be in any way associated with the vain and distorted help of men (2 Chronicles 32:8; Jeremiah 17:5-8; Psalm 60:11, 146:3).
