Know When You Need Help, And Ask

Good Morning!! "God helps those who help themselves" The concept is so familiar that most people think it must be somewhere in God's Word. Actually, the Bible doesn't say that at all. It tells us just the opposite: God helps the helpless. When you read the Gospels, you find that Jesus did not refuse to help the helpless. He did not withhold forgiveness and compassion from those who acknowledged their sin. He did not turn away from those who had no power to change. In fact, the people who distressed Him most were those who thought they didn't need any help at all.
So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help.—Hebrews 4:16 (AAJE)

God's thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9), and He sees things differently than we do. We see our own limited ability to deal with problems,...He shows us our weaknesses to teach us to rely on His strength. We take pride in our successes and begin to think we don't need God's help,...He allows us to fail, so He can teach us that true success comes through His grace. Are you feeling helpless today? "Come boldly to the throne of grace" to find help in your time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

God helps those who know they are helpless.

God's grace is available for all those, who recognize that they cannot help themselves.

" Until we allow the Lord to fill our cups daily,...we will never Live Abundantly."
