"Your Help Is On The Way".
TEXT: Psalms 121:1-4, 8
"I will lift my eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore".
INTRODUCTION
One day a man took his little son to the top of a high hill. He pointed in every direction -- north, south, east, and west. And he said son, "God’s love is as big as all of this.
The little boy looked at his dad and said "Just think dad, and we are right in the middle of it all. Oh Yeah, God is a great God and His love is a great love and we are right in the midst of it all.
But the trouble with our world today is that men believe in a little God and a big humanity.
Man has tried to take the place of God. With all of man’s inventions and scientific progress he feels that he is outgrowing the Lord.
Man is being glorified and his love for God has waxed cold and God is being pushed into the background.
In Japan the Emperor was once worshipped as a god. The Japanese people knew nothing about our Heavenly Father; they were totally dependent upon the might of men and their arms.
In Germany some years ago Adolph Hitler was a god to the German people. Germans bowed down and worshipped his and his ways of life.
Yes, man is being glorified and God is being forgotten.
But guess what my brothers and sisters God will not be left out, he will be magnified and glorified, even if he have to call on the rocks to give his some praises.
God will make Himself known and felt in all the world and by all mankind.
He is still healing…….
He is still opening the eyes of the blind….
And He is still saving lost souls……
Don’t you know that God is still on the throne. He made all things, and all things still belong to Him and He will reign over all of His creation.
È The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 2:10-11: "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth; And every tongue should confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God he Father."
I once stood on top of Mount Lemon the highest mountain in Tucson, Arizona and I could look many mile in every direction. I was told as I looked that I was looking into several different cities.
My vision spread to such a great distant but I still felt quite small in the presence of the Almighty God.
David must have felt the same way when he said, in Psalms 8:3,4 "I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou has ordained; What is man that thou are mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visiteth him?"
I. God Is The God Of All Things …….And He Has Things Already Worked Out And Your Help Is On The Way.
In the Gospel According to John he said, in John 1:3 "All things were made by God and without Him nothing was made."
Man can do many wonderful things.
He can make a mighty Aircraft Carrier …..to sail on the seas.
Or a Nuclear Submarine ….to sail under the seas.
Or a Great Aircraft ….to fly above the seas.
Man can build a Skyscraper…. one hundred and two stories high.
He can build Highways from one end of the country to another, with bridges spanning every river and valley.
He can build an Automobile… that will speed down the highway 120 miles per hour.
He can build Radio… that will reach five thousand miles into the air and pluck voices from satellites and send them around the world.
He can build Telephones… of which you can talk from ten thousand miles away.
Yes, man can build many wonderful thing, but all that he build…. he must use God’s pre-existing materials.
When God created the world he made it out of nothing. He created it without the aid of any pre-existing material.
God spoke and….. there was light in the mist of darkness.
He spoke and….. the land was formed.
He spoke and …..the mountains and rivers, and seas came into existence.
He spoke and…. the trees, flowers and grass began to spout up.
