My Devotional Journal: Today's <b><I>Our Daily Bread</b></i> author, Alyson Kieda, AT THIS LINK relates the story of a man whose cabin burned in a remote snowed-in Alaskan wilderness and was rescued when a plane saw his S.O.S. in the snow (see photo).
Do we realize, as did David and Jeremiah in the OT passages above, that we can call on the Lord ANY TIME we’re desperate; and He will not only hear our cries for help; but He will give us the strength to deal with the circumstances (on your own meditate on 1Cor 10:13 and 2Cor 12:9).
It wouldn’t surprise me, in these desperate, viral days, that many - if not all - reading here would benefit from seeking our Lord’s guidance - from His word (see Ps 119:2,10). So, pray with me; … and let’s cry out for His help today, as the Brooklyn Tab sings in the linked song from Psalm 121.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for being there … ALWAYS … when I need Your help.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me, …to cry out to our Lord when we need His help. And I surely do today. … Amen
