November 20, 2018: SOAP #3174:  Psalm 124, 2Corinthians 11-13

Scripture:  Psalm (NIV) 124:6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare has been broken, and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Observation:  David realized that his help, and the nation’s help came from the Lord.  The One who created the earth out of nothing—that was his helper!  The Only One Who had all authority.  The mention of His Name brought the help needed.

Application: If I am looking for help, I can go no higher than the One Who created all things!   The Name of Jesus is a shelter into which I can run for protection.  At the Name of Jesus satan’s kingdom trembles.  Like David, my help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Prayer:   Heavenly Father, you have given me the Name of Jesus, your Son, to be my shelter and to use in enforcing your authority.  When I am in trouble, in You, I have a sure source of able help! Amen
