“May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!”  Psalm 21:1

There are times that we need supernatural support and strength to make it through the challenges of the day.  When we call on the Lord He will dispatch help from His throne.

Psalm 20:2 says, “He sends help from the sanctuary.”  He will send help, sometimes even angelic assistance.  Scripture tells us that the angels of the Lord excel in strength at His command.  They are like an emergency backup support system that is on call twenty four-seven waiting for the next assignment.

When we call out to the Lord for help, He sends them forth in strength.  When Joshua was preparing for the battle of Jericho the angel of the Lord appeared to him in Joshua 5:13-15 and told him he was the Captain of the Lord’s host.  Joshua had the Lord’s host on his side as he fought and won the battle of Jericho.  Scripture tells us the angels of the Lord are always encamped round about us.  Could it be they are just waiting for the next assignment?

A house cannot stand without a strong support system.  In a house you cannot see the support beams but you know they are there.  It would seem foolish to sit in your living room fearful that the house was going to cave in.  when you put your trust in the Lord, you can be assured the house will stand, the support system is in place and you shall not be moved.  The Lord establishes the support system so you can stand even when the strong winds of adversity come.  We cannot see them with our natural eyes but we know the support system of the angelic army is in place.

The Right Path:  Ask God to send help from the Sanctuary if you need extra support and strength.

“May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high and defend you.  Send you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh and strengthen you from Zion.”  Psalm 20:1-2 (amp)
