"O Lord, I cry to You for help!" (Joel 1:19).
We
look to some people for help - and they're no help to us, God is never
like that. He is our Helper. He's always there for us. We call upon
Him - and He helps us. He's "the help of the helpless" (from the hymn,
"Abide with me"). We may not always feel 'helped' - but we have
been helped, much more than we'll ever realize! Praise God! Thank Him
for His help - even when you're only very vaguely aware of just how
much He has helped you.
"Even now, declares the Lord, return to Me with all your heart" (Joel 2:12).
"Now" - returning to the Lord is not to be left until later on. With
all your heart" -a real return to the Lord must never be a half-hearted
thing.
"The Lord will be a refuge for His people" (Joel 3:1).
People let us down. The Lord never lets us down. He lifts us up.
