Here is a remake of a modern version of Acts 28. It is when Paul was shipwrecked on the island of Malta.
This is one of the 15 songs titled songs of Ascent or marching songs. People would sing these songs as they traveled to Jerusalem or when they left Jerusalem.
This particular song reminds me of someone pointing out how awesome God is compared to anyone and anything in the world.
In verses 1-2 we see the writer showing maybe a fellow traveler. He says, “I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
I was picturing the writer maybe talking to another person. The other person might have been talking about who is the best king in the world or that this powerful person is so great. The writer responds with, you know God is bigger and better than that man. It is like when one responds, “My dad can beat up your dad.” to show that their dad is better.
God is better and bigger than anything, why? The writer answers, “He created heaven and earth, what did your guy do?” God is the supreme, author and creator of this life. It reminds me of what Psalm 118:6 which says, “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” In verses 8-9 he writes, “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” In Psalm 20 David writes in verse 7, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord.”
Our hope, our faith, our strength, and our guidance should come from the Lord. He has shown himself to us as we see in the Bible and even today with salvation through Jesus Christ. This would be a good song to remember, my hope comes from the Lord who by the way created everything. Not bad to put your trust in God who created everything. This is a good reminder of having the right focus in this life.
