I read and pondered this Psalm today. When we are in need, where is the first place we turn? To Jesus or to friends, family, the church, government, etc.? We are tempted to try and either fix it ourselves or find the easiest short term relief. Yet, the psalmist gives us something else which echoes Jesus telling us to seek first His kingdom and righteousness and all these things will be added to us. The hymn tells us plainly, "I lift my eyes up to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
Lord, teach us to come to You first.
