“I lift up my eyes to the mountains, where will my help come from? My help is from the LORD, who made the heavens and the earth.”
After graduating from high school, Mr. Oh graduated from a very small local university. Born in Nohwa Island, which is more accessible by boat from Wando, he finally passed the first exam with excellent results after six years of challenging the bar exam. However, I ruined the first hour of the second exam. I could not think of an answer, and my condition was not good. I was more worried about the disappointment of my father, who waited for me for 6 years, not my problem. I called my father and begged for forgiveness, saying that I had missed the first test and I am sorry for disappointing you again this year. The father heard her cry and said, “Dear daughter, do not lose heart and do well in the rest of your exams. From next Sunday, this father will not go to church.” The father immediately registered with the church, and to his surprise, he received the second notice of passing the bar exam for his daughter. The father did everything he could to support his daughter, but realized that he did not seek God's help for one thing, so he resumed his religious life that had been suspended for 20 years. Faith is a miracle. Faith is grace.
“Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth” (Psalm 124:8).
General Moses Diane, who led the Israeli army during the Middle East War, also known as the Six Day War, made a declaration that shocked the world. Diane declared that he had a new weapon to win the war against the Arab Allies, which had a population 100 times larger. Because of that, Israel was guaranteed to win the war. People around the world thought it must be a new weapon that surpassed the atomic bomb or hydrogen bomb. However, General Moses Diane announced that “the new weapon that will give us victory is Psalm 121.” In the end, the war ended with Israel's victory in just six days.
“But everyone who trusts in the Lord and trusts in the Lord will be blessed” (Jeremiah 17:7).
The pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem for the feast encountered a high mountain standing in their way, but they knew that God was the one who made the mountain and realized that only God had a way to help. It is because God is the one who provides all the problems of the universe so that even a flying sparrow does not fall. God does not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear, but when we are tempted, He will surely give us a way of escape.
"Help us against our enemies, for man's salvation is in vain. We trust in God and walk valiantly, for he is the one who will tread down our enemies" (Psalm 60:11-12).
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
A British army commander was transferred to India and was on a boat with his family when he met a great storm. As the boat shook as if it was going to churn, people clamored, but the captain comforted and reassured others when he calmly rested. When the ship finally arrived safely in India, the wife said:
"No, how are you in a situation where all of your family members are dead?
