[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 28]] ## Title: The Lord Helps Us ## Scripture: (Psalm 28:7) “The Lord strengthens and protects me; I trust in him with all my heart. I am rescued and my heart is full of joy; I will sing to him in gratitude.” (NET) ## Observation: The Lord is our help in all times, especially in our times of need. When we realize this, we can have great joy. We can sing songs of thankfulness because we realize that we have a great God who is always able and willing to help when we need Him the most. Have you ever met someone who finally becomes financially secure for the first time in a long time? I walked with someone who had made some bad choices earlier in their life. Because of this, they had to deal with a lot of debt and went through a season where they were homeless. They were constantly behind on their payments and were constantly in fear of losing all they had. However, he worked hard and slowly started making progress. When I knew him, he finally paid off the last of his debts, and secured a job that would adequately pay all his bills. The relief on his face is indescribable. He felt as though he finally had peace. This is like the feeling we can experience when we realize that an endless supply of hope is available. We don’t have to figure it all out on our own anymore. The Lord is with us. He walks with us. He leads and guides us. This doesn’t mean we won’t face future hardships and difficulties. The good news is we no longer have to go through this feeling as though we are alone. There is an endless supply of God’s help in time of need. That help comes in many different ways, but it always comes. ## Application: Take a moment and think about the fact you are not facing anything alone. The Lord is with you. He is already helping you more than you realize. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us in more ways than we will ever realize.
