I Need The Lord..........

Whom have I in heaven but you? and there is none on earth that I desire beside you. Psalm 73:25

I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." Psalm 16:2

For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:5

There are times in my life when I know that I will not be able to take myself out of the hole I find myself in because it is just too deep and I do not have the resources needed to pull myslf out. Sometimes I wish that things would move themselves out of my life, but deep down I always knew that nothing will move without a push from God. Do you know what I mean? when the bills are past due, now I’m not just referring to one bill, but I am referencing to all of them (Insurance, car note, school loan, mortgage/rent, telephone, gas, electric). All of them are due and there is no money in the accounts or there is no bank acccounts. You find yourself needing God to move right now, and not later. You begin to pray, crying out and asking God to show up. Because you know, sometimes the need is pressing and cannot and will not wait until the morning. That is when you remember like David, you have an anchor in heaven. So you cry out to Him and tell Him that you need Him and you have no where else to turn.

One thing you and I often forget about God is that He does not move because we are under pressure. He will not move because He feels any anxiety. He is in control and knows everything before they even occur. He knew you were going to feel desperate. He was not caught by surprise. God only moves when we trust Him. It is faith that moves the hand of God. God ask us to call Him in times of trouble but He does not always have to move right away, but He will move. He often tend to dictate how God should move but He is the omnipotent God. He knows what to do. He may not work it out the way you would like (thankfully) but He will work it out. Sometimes God does not wait until morning. He often shows up in the midlle of the night and other times He shows up before the needs get desperate. The key is to trust that He will will work on our behalf when we bring a need to Him. You and I must learn to wait with expectancy and allow God to move in ways that He chooses. I have experienced incredible joy in my life when God moves in a way I did not expect. There is nothing sweeter than the fruit of answered prayer.

Friend,Jesus death and ressurection made it possible to have all of our needs met. Not just a few of them. You can ask God to move in any situation and He will. I want to remind you that you have an advocate in heaven. The Bible guarantees that when you turn to Jesus in faith, He will show up and He will deliver you. There is never a need to beg God. You can boldly approach the throne of Grace and He will hear you and work in your favor.

Call on me in times of trouble. I will rescue you, and you will honor me." Psalm 50:15

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.Psalm 107:13

For I am the Lord, I change not. Malachi 3:6

Praise the Lord!
