—Psalm 146
by: Leanne Lippincott.
This psalm goes hand-in-hand with psalm 121, continuing the view that God helps us and watches over us. If we put our trust in mortal men, we will always be disappointed. Even if their intentions are good, once God calls them home, their intentions die with them. But God is eternal; his help and care are everlasting, and he is faithful forever. When my husband died in 1983, I was only 38 and had two young children to raise. I immediately found strength and encouragement in verse 9:“The Lord…sustains the fatherless and the widow.” Now, many years later, I still rely on that blessed promise.
