… where does my help come from my help comes from the Lord the maker of heaven and earth to know that our head is also our helper and to see both facets of the character of God reflected in male and female. You see how if we undercut these, ignore these, disregard these, we're missing out on seeing the character of God. He's designed this way for a reason, all leading to, well, we resemble His character and we trust His word. We trust His word. Brothers and sisters, this is one of those areas in our day where the Bible comes up totally against the patterns of our culture and we are forced to make a decision. are we going to believe the word of God or not? Are we going to trust a culture of feminism that says personal worth and personal role are linked together? And if you have a different role, then that clearly diminishes your worth. Your worth is not found in your role. Your worth is found in the fact that you have been created in the image of God. …
… Same word. Psalm chapter 121, verse one and two. I lifted my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth. One more, Isaiah 41, verse 13. For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand. It is I who say to you, fear not. I am the one who helps you. This word describes God himself, which means there's no hint of inferiority here. If anything, that would be a hint of superiority. But we know that's not true. Let me give you three descriptors of how God designed this relationship between man and woman in marriage for good from the very beginning. So first, God designed marriage to be a relationship marked by equal dignity. Both man and woman made in the image of God with equal glorious dignity. With no hint of superiority or inferiority. As one biblical scholar wrote, man's helper would be no weak sister by any stretch of a misogynist's imagination. …
… from which cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth and greater is he that is in me. So it's not me versus my enemy. It's the one who is versus my enemy. This changes everything because it opens a brand new file in my mind. It lets me recognize that even if I'm surrounded with no way out, and even if I'm pressed, hard pressed, even if I'm crushed, even if I'm persecuted, even if I'm abandoned, even if I'm broke, even if I'm down, even if I'm suffocating, even if one thing is piling up on another, even if my boss hates me, even if my employees hate me, even if I don't want to do it, even if I feel lazy, even if I don't have what it takes, the one who is in me is greater than what's against me. It's not that it's not big. It's just that I found something bigger. You're a big boy. unless we put you next to something bigger. That's all Elisha did. He said, Hey, this is big. Tell somebody, This is big, but there's something bigger. …
… You lift your eyes to the hills, beyond the hills, to where your help comes. Your help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He said, I'm not looking around because I don't have what it takes, and I don't know what to do, but my eyes are on you. So, God, I need you to show me what to do about this situation. I need you to show me what to do about this loan. I need you to show me what to do about this relationship. I need you to show me what to do about this decision I have to make about my future by Tuesday. I need you to show me what to do about this apartment. I need you to show me what to do about this job. I need you to show me what to do about this person I can't fire, but they won't quit. I need you to show me what to do about this depression. I need you to show me what to do about this bipolar. I need you to show me what to do about these thoughts that are going through my head, making me crazy. I need you to show me what to do about the stretching schedule and the shrinking timeframe I have to get it done. I need you to show me what to do. …
