Who do you call when you're in trouble? Who do you call when you're in need? Where do we turn when in despair? Who do we look to when we feel looked down upon?
The Word of God has an answer for us today. Psalm 34:15-19 reads:
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their
troubles.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
The eyes of the LORD God of heaven are upon the righteous and his ears are open to our cry. I thank God for His love for us. His Word forever encourages us, teaches us, inspires us and corrects us that we may be made perfect and in the image of His son Jesus Christ.
Call on God in the midst of your troubles. Call on the Lord God of heaven and he will hear you. The fourth verse of Psalm 34 says:
Matthew 7:6-8 says:4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and
it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
I encourage you today to call on God. He alone can save you; He alone can comfort you and keep you. Trust in Him and He will show Himself strong in you. God wants to deliver you that you may believe and be saved. But also, you have to believe that God is who He says He is and can do what He says He can do.
The Lord will reward your faith. Call on Him in the day of trouble and He will answer. By God's great power and authority He will speak a blessing into your life and save your soul.
Be encouraged.
