Hmmmm… Hamburger Helper? When Greg owned a grocery store, he was shocked at how much Hamburger Helper they sold. Psalm 121 is a short chapter, only 8 verses. Yet, these 8 verses are full of hope and God’s promise of help, and it’s much better than the stuff you buy at the grocery store. John 14:26 says “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”
