Call out

and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

Psalm 50:15

This is not the verse that I had planned on using today, but on the way to work this morning, my heart was touched. 

These are sobering times that we live in today. 

People close to me have lost jobs and can’t find one. 

Others are underemployed and are just barely making it. 

People I know are going hungry so their children can have their needs filled.

Families are losing their homes because they can’t afford the rent any more. 

With turmoil going on in the world people are becoming desperate; even the people of God. 

What can we do when our backs are against the wall, when we are in desperate situations and we have nowhere to turn and we are in serious trouble?

What can we do? 

Can we call on God?

Can we depend on God? 

Can we trust in God?

Lauren Daigle (song reference!) has recently become one of my favorite artists, because her words hit so close to home:

When You don't move the mountains I'm needing You to move
When You don't part the waters I wish I could walk through
When You don't give the answers as I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You!

God desires that we depend on Him and that we seek His help. 

Think of a human father: what good father would not want his children to turn to him when they need help? 

Naturally, a father loves it when his children come to him to seek help. 

There is something special about having someone there for you. 

I guess the point I am trying to get across here is that God is this true source that we can depend on.

God truly loves those that are His. 

He loves you! 

Listen to what God says for those who are in desperate situations and what He promises when they call upon Him.

and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.

Psalm 50:15

Have a blessed day!
