Stirred By The Scriptures

One of things that age has taught me is that all of us need help from time to time. The more of life I live I realize that I need the help of others more frequently than I once thought I did.  When you are young you think you can do it all. My grandson will tell me - “Pop, I can do it myself!”  He says that whether he can or not. Young people think they are invincible and young adults believe if they just try harder they can do it.  Somewhere along the way most of us come to realize we need the help of others.  Israel went up to Jerusalem once a year and while going they sang songs of ascents.  In one of those they asked the question of where their help came from?  Listen to the answer -“My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” The Lord is our help, not just for the old and not just once a year but for all of us and for each day.
