Heaven Help Us (2 of 4)
Series: Music to My Ears
James Merritt
Psalm 121
Welcome to those watching online and to those at our campuses.
Introduction
1. I don't want to go into the details of it now, but suffice to say it was one of, if not, the darkness days of my life and my ministry. I was facing a problem that I did not create - I was looking at a mess that someone else had made, yet, knowing I was the pastor of the church and entered under the sign that Harry Truman kept on his desk that said, ''The buck stops here.'' Even though I did not create the problem, I knew I would have to solve the problem. This was no ordinary problem. It was along the category of the biggest problem, because the biggest problems we face in life, at first, make us think that two things are true -

2) We have no one to talk to
2. If you find yourself there it is the loneliest place on earth to be and you feel like the loneliest person on earth.

3. If you are in that situation or ever find yourself in that situation, God has written a song just for you. We are in a series we are calling ''Music to My Ears.'' An unknown songwriter evidently was in one of those jams. He was in a dead-end street with nowhere to turn and he thought he was all alone with no one to talk to but then he remembered there is a God in heaven who can always help us climb any mountain, solve any problem, and overcome any obstacle. He wrote a song that reminds us that help is always on the way from heaven itself. [Turn to Psalm 121]
4. God loves music. I know that because the longest book in the Bible is a hymnbook. It is a book filled with songs ...
