No Help From Mortals

We are poor, feeble, and blind mortals when the eye of the Almighty looks through all worlds and by his power executes all things aright, and by his grace, he makes us all rich in Heavenly Gifts. In distress and in bereavements, we can look only to him. From mortals like ourselves we can derive no help.

~ Sam Houston (first President of the Republic of Texas)

And the Word of the Living God says something similar:

If I raise my eyes to the hills, from where will my help come?  My help comes  from Adonai, the maker of heaven and earth. ~Psalm 121: 1-2

…for human help is worthless. ~Psalm 108: 13b
