Seeking God's Help (VAIN - The Foundation of Emptiness)

 “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me” – Psalm 138:7 (KJV).  

Where is your hope?  When you are being spiritually attacked by the enemy, where do you look for help?  We have a tendency to seek the help, the prayers  and comforts of man rather than taking our problems to the Lord.  When our souls are troubled with the issues of this life it is the help of the Lord we must seek.  We must come to the complete understanding that the hand of man is subject to fail us.  The Psalmist David said, ”…thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.” Who can you depend on to come to your rescue in such a manner?  The law have failed mankind, the medical system have failed mankind, family and friends have failed and likewise spouses.  David said that the Lord will stretch forth His hand and also save him by His right hand.  I want you to know that the hands of man will surely fail!

Vain means useless, empty, without purpose.  What could be the reason for you and I seeking assistance from another man? Truly we are all subject to be overtaken and overwhelmed with the issues of life.  Seeking help from man as it relates to problems, our enemies or our struggles in life is vain, for man is likewise subject to the same.  We all have struggles, we all have enemies, we all at some point in our lives succumb to our weaknesses. When this happens, because we realize that no man is exempted from such issues, we should seek the Lord’s help.
