My reflection on this day is based on the certainty of knowing how far you think your certainty can come from believing that God is truly your help.
I invite you to reflect on this psalm:
Psalm 121
121 I will lift my eyes to the mountains;
Where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from Jehovah,
That made the heavens and the earth.
3 He will not give your foot to the slide,
The one who saves you will not fall asleep.
4 Behold, he will not fall asleep or sleep
The one who keeps Israel.
5 Jehovah is your guardian;
Jehovah is your shadow at your right hand.
6 The sun will not tire you by day,
Not the moon at night.
7 Jehovah will keep you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
8 Jehovah will keep your way out and your entrance
From now and forever.
(Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960))

One of the things that a believer must have is to know that God keeps those who seek him and that in any adverse situation that may occur is only and exclusively God exercising his divine will in something that only He knows is necessary.
All of us have heard throughout our lives that God keeps promises in his creation and we even know by heart this psalm that I have quoted and many times we declare it, but the problem is not to learn it by heart to say it and not feel it and believe it . The problem is how I apply this psalm in my daily actions.
It is obvious that David declared this psalm in very difficult moments of his life but it is also true that he believed it with all his heart, now the question is do you believe with certainty that God is your help? If so, how do you apply it to your life?
In this statement David is acknowledging that Jehovah is his help but he is also the creator of heaven and earth. He is declaring not to fear in bad weather because he is sure that in the bad day God will keep him. I am convinced by the truth of the facts in this Psalm that David was a man who put everything at the feet of God and did not fear for his future or for the adversities of the present, for he knew that his help came from God.
If Jehovah truly is your help, what do you fear of life? What is your position when you lack something basic for your family such as: food, medicine, footwear or when there is someone sick at home ... What can scare you if God is your help? What is your concern if when you have adversities you can lift your eyes to the mountains? Remember that the mountains can represent all the obstacles we encounter along the way and can cause us fear.
If Jehovah is your help even in difficulties you will have hope because when many fall and suffer stress and anxiety you can come to God confidently because he is your help and will not give your foot to the slide.
If Jehovah is your help you will not be afraid of day or night because He has promised that the sun will not tire you by day or the moon by night.
Are you tired depressed, do you have financial and economic deprivation, are you hungry or thirsty for justice? If God is your help, he will surely raise your eyes to the mountains and receive comfortt.
¡If Jehovah is your help you have to prove it with facts with faith and perseverance!
¡BLESSINGS!
