'I lift my eyes to the mountains' - 8 September 2024

How do we get help from God? Is it only when we ask, or does God get involved and help us all the time?

This talk looks at times in life when we need help, and not just comfort, and the hope that believers through history have found in Psalm 121, which starts, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."

The Bible also contains story examples of the help God gives - restoration to Noah, power to Elijah, wisdom and guidance to Moses, intervention for Abraham and Isaac, provision through the feeding of the 5000, and ultimately redemption through Jesus.

How might we need to wait and grow our intimacy and reliance on God's help? Can we grow our faith and build our trust on his promises to us?
