Give us help from trouble,
For the help of man is useless. v.12
Read chapter 108
The help of man is useless? In comparison to God, YES! Now it's not to say that let's not help anyone because it's useless but let's not put our trust in man like we ought to put our trust in God, for men will no doubt fail us, but God will never. Even our most trusted friend or spouse will let us down some time or another, but God never will even, if in some moments it seems so. How often does someone finally call out to God when they've hit rock bottom and realized nothing can save them except something divine? Divine help is expected because human help is of no use. It is never a vain thing to seek the Lord for help even when man's help may be in vain. A lot of discouragement and depression come from the useless help of man and our expectations of the help of others, so lets set our minds straight and seek God's help from all our trouble. Let's be thankful when we receive the help of man but not expect it.
How have you been discourage or depressed because someone let you down when you needed help? How can you rely wholly on God as your help?
