The help of God

[The Glory Unveiled]

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. [ Isaiah 41:13 KJV ]

After God created Adam and placed him in the garden with everything he would ever need, God still looked at the man and said, “It is not good for man to be alone.” One would expect God to solve Adam’s loneliness directly, but instead, God said He would make him a helper suitable for him. In other words, God identified that man would need help. That truth still stands today. As long as we remain human, we will need help in one way or another. And when help is expected but not found, fear, uncertainty, and anxiety begin to grow in the heart. This is why God repeatedly tells us, “Do not fear,” and follows it with a promise: “I will help you.” Yet even in Adam’s story, after God provided him with help, Adam still found himself complaining before God. This reveals an important truth: the help of man has limitations. Human help can fail, disappoint, misunderstand, or become insufficient. When Adam and Eve realized their nakedness, the covering they made for themselves with fig leaves could not truly deal with their condition. God Himself had to step in and cover them properly. The help they found for themselves was inadequate. Only God’s help was sufficient. This is why Jesus did not leave us alone. He gave us the Holy Spirit, whom He called the Helper. Men may support you, systems may assist you, and relationships may strengthen you, but the only help that never fails is the help that comes from God. Depend on Him. Trust Him. Lean on His Spirit. The help of God is sufficient for every need.
