Monday - Psalm 120 - In My Distress


S
ing it out: "In my distress He kindly will help me..." This grand expression from the old hymn I Must Tell Jesus includes some of the most promising words ever written. In Psalm 120 the psalmist had deceptive enemies who thrived on arguments and divisions. The author wanted no part in that.  He wanted peace. The bitterness and anger of conflict were more than a little distressing to him.  But he found his comfort in the promises of God.  He knew that when distress was overtaking him, he could turn to God for help and that God would be faithful to deliver him.  Enough said!  

Are you facing dilemmas in life which are distressing to you?  Don't let your heavy heart turn your eyes downward.  Look up! God specializes in helping us out of distressing situations (II Chronicles 16:9).  He has never once encountered an impregnable wall, an unapproachable obstacle or an invincible opponent.
