The Present Help

The Present Help (Mark 16)
There are times in our lives when we face situations that are beyond us, when we become helpless and are desperate for help. It could be frustrating at times, when no help seems to be forthcoming or the help we hope for is being delayed.
The good news is that there is always a present help from God, He is ever ready and ever willing; while that need is still starring at you, He provides the way out, He gives the solution only if you solely look up to Him (Psalm121:1).
From this bible reading, the two women were on their way to the tomb of Jesus, and as they went, they began to think of the “seemingly” obstacle that they will face and said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?” (verse3).
Surprisingly, God (who is the present help) has gone ahead of them to solve the problem by sending His angel to roll away the stone. Thus, when they got there the stone had already been rolled away.
This is to encourage us that there is a God that is always there and present to help us each time we are faced with difficult situations. Psalm 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Ours is to call on Him and He will answer us (Jem33:3).
God’s help can come in different ways, beyond our thoughts. We cannot decide how He is to help; He is the only one to decide which way to send the help and choose what means to use, ours is to call on him and trust him to send us help.
If He sent help to these two women in Mark 16, He will also send help your way when you look to him for help.
