“My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth” (Psalm 121:2).

The psalmist rightly said, “Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves” (Psalm 100:3). In fact, He not only made us, but continues to sustain our moment-by-moment existence.

“And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work” (Nehemiah 2:18).

It has been said that when the people of God say, “Let us arise and build,” Satan says, “Let us arise and oppose.” The work of the Lord never advances without Satanic opposition.

“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28–30).

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:2).

“But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay” (II Corinthians 1:18).
