Start By Dialing 911

 

I call upon the LORD,

who is worthy to be praised,

and I am saved 

              from my enemies...

In my distress,

I called upon the LORD,

to my God

     I cried for help.

From His temple

  He heard my voice,

and my cry to Him

         reached His ears.

              Psalm 18. 3,6

In our circumstances,

does it even occur to us

     to call upon the Lord God

   and cry HELP?

God does not just listen.

       God responds.

He will either airlift us 

   out of enemy territory

or carry us through,

    all the while holding our hand,

while we walk with Him.

 His wonders unfold

         along the way all around us.

And it all starts

         with that 911 call to Him.

He's got us.

 

O LORD,

Our foes are anything we fear,

both real and imagined.

Strengthen us 

to not bow before them,

  but bow before You.

In our distress,

   You are our first responder,

                   not last resort.

You hear our cries for help.

And remind us:

   Do not fear.  I am with you.

You are God.

         And we are not.

Hear us.

Hold us.

Help us.

Even in this situation today.
