Where Does My Help Come From?

Today my Mom was admitted into the hospital.  She has been having some health struggles and had a procedure done in New Orleans to stop a bleed in her stomach.  In her checkup this morning, she had a fever and was dehydrated and weak, so she was admitted for care in the local hospital.  They are administering antibiotics and giving her IV fluids.  The doctors and nurses have been doing a great job caring for Mom.  Friends came to visit her and we encircled her bed, held hands and offered prayers to Almighty God.  I also ask for your prayers for her recovery and complete restoration of her health.

My two favorite Psalms are Psalm 91 and Psalm 121.  Those have been on our hearts throughout many trials and speak of our faithful God who is with us in our times of need.  We don't walk alone.

Psalm 121 KJV

1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

We know our help comes from the Lord!  May His Name be praised!
