My Help comes From God

This morning I am humbled to remember that I can do nothing on my own, and everything good comes from above.

Since April of 2006 I have been homeschooling, with success. Or so I thought. My kids are well behaved, smart, social... but is that I all I wanted from homeschooling? No! I wanted my children to understand and love God and want to worship Him throughout the day. What I accomplishing this??? Not really. My day revolved around reading, writing, math, cleaning the house... but not what really mattered. This week I gave this up!

I let go and let God (as they say)! He became my help! I wake in the morning excited about what He has in store for today. This is the day He has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Ok Lord, This is Your day and I humbly come before You, asking for Your almighty hand to come down and help me through.

Psalm 146

The Happiness of Those Whose Help Is the LORD

1 Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD, O my soul!
2 While I live I will praise the LORD;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.

5 Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD gives freedom to the prisoners.

8 The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
The LORD raises those who are bowed down;
The LORD loves the righteous.
9 The LORD watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the LORD!
