How do we know God is our help?

The assurance that God is our help comes from His revealed Word and His covenant promises. Psalm 146 speaks to His faithfulness and ongoing support for His people: 'The Lord executeth judgment for the oppressed; He giveth food to the hungry.' These are manifestations of His care and continual provision. This passage echoes truths found throughout Scripture, such as in Isaiah 43, where God assures Jacob of His redemption and care. Knowing God as our helper rests not on our feelings but on His immutable character as the covenant-keeping God who actively engages in our lives, providing for our needs and preserving us eternally.
