““Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God.””
There are so many ways to get help but there is ONLY one authentic way- that is Asking help from the Maker of all things-God. When we ask God for help, he send us the appropriate help in the appropriate way and at the appropriate time. God has understanding of everything and everyone so relying on him rather than the arm of flesh is always the best way to go. However, because we do not see God, we are always quick to ask help from man first and only approach God as the last option.
