Out help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

Luke 124:1-8
If the Lord had not been on our side - let Israel say they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us. The raging waters would have swept us away.
Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. We have escaped like a bird from the fowler’s snare.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
If God had not been on our side... The consequences are unthinkable. For without God’s help the nation could not have survived the onslaught of their enemies. The credit is God’s alone. (How true this was in Israel’s history, over and over again.
Why?
For the anger of the Lord to Israel forsaken the Lord, God let Israel’s enemies came and attacked them. When they return to the Lord, God helped them. But they let this history happened over and over again.
Same as we are always forget God’s grace and turn to the world. Let turn to the Lord and look on the Lord, God is my savior and my fortress. 
Outside enemy are easy to identify but inside heart is uneasy sensed turn away from the Lord.
How?
Praise the Lord and focus on God, may the Holy Spirit always be with me and remind me!
