"I will look unto the hills; from whence cometh my help?" And so the Psalmist asks the question. Of course the answer is the "Lord, the maker of Heaven and Earth." This afternoon as we looked out our window we could see that Psalm in action. Dark clouds were roiling over the hills to the NW of us. Surely some kind of nasty storm was going to hit even as the late afternoon sun shown brightly on those same hills. Soon the clouds thickened more and we watched what looked like snow crawl down the hill into the valley and begin ascending our own hills. It was not snow but hail. Suddenly the hail was bigger and then after a few second lull even bigger hail stones began to fall. The clouds rolled on and again the hills were bathed in the setting sun. As gasoline became $7.60 a gallon yesterday and the dollar hit another record low we also had to ask where our help comes from. The Psalmist knew; our help comes from the One who is in control of all things even currencies. "Thank you Father that you are in control. Help us to truly believe."
