God is listening for Your Call.

"And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be delivered." (Joel 2:32)

When you find yourself in a predicament, what do you usually do first? We sit down and figure it out and come up with a plan. We run to our family, or to our friends, and we cry "Help". The reality is the one who is able to help us is waiting on us to call on him.

Notice the scope of this promise. "Everyone" who calls. It is not limited to the rich or the knowledgeable. It is open to any who will sincerely and genuined call on God. And notice the certainty of this promise. It does not say might be delivered, but it says, "Will" be delivered."

In Romans 10, Paul quotes this passage in relationship to salvation from sin and into new life in Christ. Let me raise this question. If we can trust God to save us from an eternity in a devil's hell, which is what our sins deserve, then why in the world are we so reluctant to trust Him with every other matter in our lives? Let me encourage you today, whatever you are facing, cry out to the Lord for help. He is listening for your call.
