24 The Sovereignty of God
In addition, Psalm 121:2 talks about “help” from the Lord in the present:
“My help comes from the Lord.” God’s past work in creating the world, far
from being an excuse for him to walk away, confirms and undergirds God’s
availability in the present. (See fig. 2.1.) He is active with his power and his
help. Psalm 121:2 adds the reminder “who made heaven and earth” partly
to back up the conviction that, in the present time as in the beginning, “my
help comes from the Lord.”
Fig. 2.1: Deism and Theism
Other psalms make the same point:
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth. (Ps. 124:8)
May the Lord bless you from Zion,
he who made heaven and earth. (134:3)
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord his God,
who made heaven and earth,
