Our Representative
Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
Psalm 73:25
Where do you turn when you need someone or something you can rely upon? Do you look up to heaven? And if you do, to whom will you turn there? There are options one could turn to in heaven. There are angels, archangels, and departed saints. Can they help? Some believe they can help, and they pray to them. The psalmist is not denying that there are other occupants of heaven besides God. He's saying that God is the only occupant of heaven whom we can actually rely upon. He is the only occupant in heaven who can help us in time of need. He is the only occupant in heaven who died for our sins.
We see in the bible in the book of psalms, the psalmist turns to God every time when he was in deep trouble and the Lord rescued him from all his troubles.
Jesus said in this world you will have trouble, but be encouraged, I have overcome the world.
Where do you turn when you have trouble ? Do you turn to God the Father immediately ? The sooner we turn to God the Father and ask Him, the sooner we get out of trouble. Many times we get stuck in our own troubles and try to solve it, forgetting we have a God who is our Father in Heaven who wants to help you.
Today remember, our Lord Jesus is your representative in heaven and when you go to the Father in heaven through Jesus, you receive whatever you ask for. This is the promise Jesus gave in John 16:23.
Don't seek any other means to help you, God alone is your help, and He makes a way for you where there is no way.
