Reflecting on the Scriptures: The Lord is my Helper
Jeremiah 2:4-13. God’s people did not long for their Redeemer but had forsaken the Fountain of Living Water and had dug their own cracked cisterns that held no water.

Psalm 81:1, 10-16. God longs to fill his people with good things, the finest of wheat and honey from the rock, but his people will not listen to his voice or submit to his will.

Luke14:1, 7-14. Jesus says: Humble yourself before the Lord and let your life choices reflect the humility of your heart. Reach out to those who cannot repay you.

Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16. An admonition to the church: Live upright lives of mutual love and respect; know the Lord’s faithfulness and offer up to him your life of faithfulness, faith and worship. Say without fear, “The Lord is my helper.”
