Help From Above!
He said to them,
“You are from beneath; I am from above.
You are of this world; I am not of this world.”
John 8: 23
A woman was hiking with her dog earlier this year near Horsetail
Falls
in California’s El Dorado National Forest. This is a deceptively
difficult
area in the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the woman became
trapped.
Just at the moment of panic, help came from above.
A California Highway Patrol helicopter spotted the woman and her
dog.
Two search and rescue workers descended by ropes and were soon
on
the ground beside the pair. The workers helped get them back to
safety.
Help always comes from above for God’s children when we
become
disoriented by life. The Bible says, “Every good gift and every
perfect
gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of
lights”
(James 1:17).
The best and most perfect gift ever given was the Lord Jesus
Christ,
who came from above to stand beside us. The Bible is God’s
Word
from above. The Holy Spirit also came down to indwell
you.
Rest assured that God reaches down to you in your
darkest
times to be with you and bring you comfort. Today you
have
help descending down from
above!
"We can do no good thing at all,
except we are aided by help from above."
John Chrysostom
