Desperate Call
Again, I must share this week about how Sunday's messages spoke to me, once again. Now all of the Pastor at my church are great speakers and their messages always speak to me; but taking into all that I've been going through lately with a stressful job and my health spiraling down to where I was a couple years ago (which as you may or may not know, my stomach issues has re-surfaced again), I have been really soaking in deeply the sermons I have heard over the past weeks.
In Psalm 18, David is crying out for God to deliver him from his enemies. God hears the cry of David and answers him.
So often, I look at situations and try to get a "quick" fix; Either I'll get upset at situations and not try to understand them or I will just leave it and hope that "something" will repair itself. I know it sounds silly, but I'm sure a lot of us has done it one time or another. I fail to see that in those trials, it is the time that I call out to God for help and not lean on my own understanding and knowledge as to how to rectify a situation or how to understand a situation. I constantly question God into "Why does this problem exist again in my job?" or "Why has my health been so good in the past year and a half and now suddenly going back to where I was?"
Yesterdays sermon spoke to me. It taught me about how God can rescue me from ANYTHING if we only seek him and pray to HIM and ask HIM to rescue us; for He DOES hear our cries; he will rescue us from our enemies, which can be anything, people, job stress, health, etc! As a child of God, I know that God will not leave me and I know that He will rescue me from harm, just as parents would try their best not to let any harm come to their own children. Our crying to God during our desperate time and God responding to us is certainly not a profound thing that is not hard to understand. What we have to question ourselves is "do we TRULY believe it by going to HIM in our Desperate times? Do we try to fight the enemy ourselves in hopes that we are stronger than them? Because If the Lord is On Our Side, we will not be swallowed up by our enemies; we will get through them because the strength of the Lord is stronger than anything and anyone.
again, just some thoughts to how wonderful Sunday Sermon was to me!
