A Present Help
You only live once. That means you only get one chance at the moment you are living. How are you doing with it? Reading this devotion is obviously good, but I mean on the bigger scale. How do you view the “present”? Remember, there is nothing you can do to change the past, and you are not guaranteed the future, even though you can plan ahead for it; so the only thing that you really have, that you can focus on, is the present moment.
David writes in the Psalms that He is a present help when we are in trouble. He is always with us and will never leave us or forsake us (Deut. 31:6). When times get tough and times get hard, God is always right on time. He helps you in the present moment. He is always present. What do you do with the present? Because, you only get one chance to raise your kids right, you only get one chance to get good grades in school, you only get one chance to put in a good day's work at your job today, and you only get one chance to live your life for the Lord. So ask yourself the question, “Am I really using the present for the best?” Don’t lose the opportunity to live for the Lord today. Don’t let the devil cause you to lose today. You will never get today to live over again. Go and live for the Lord! But I couldn't go into a cave; there was an emergency on. And you can't go to the doctor 'cause he's done said you're going to die. There's nothing can be done for you. There's an emergency on. Then what is He? Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah-shammah. The Lord will provide a sacrifice and God is in our presence. He's the Present One. And in the need of help, He's here. Lord is our refuge and strength, a very present help.
