Cry Out

Image
Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! — Psalms 107:28-31 (NKJV) Even though the Israelites rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the Most High (See Psalms 107:11), His ear was open to hear their cries. When they turned to the Yahweh for help, He always had compassion and came to their rescue. He delivered them from all their troubles. (See Psalms 107:6, 13 & 19) When you are faced with troubles of any kind, cry out to Yahweh. He will hear your voice and He is faithful to deliver His people. Whoever is wise will observe these things, and they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. (Psalms 107:43 NASB1995) Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For...

Cry Out

Two blind men were sitting beside the road. When they heard that Jesus was coming that way, they began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” “Be quiet!” the crowd yelled at them. But they only shouted louder, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” — Matthew 20:30-31 (NLT) So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. (Matthew 20:32-34 NKJV) Don’t let the crowd silence you. Cry out to the Lord and He will answer you. He is full of compassion. Continually seek His face and He will be found by you. Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses. (Psalm 107:6 NKJV)

He Calms the Storm

Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! — Psalm 107:28-31 (NKJV) Our heavenly Father will be your calm in the midst of the storm. Keep your eyes on Him and not external circumstances. He will bring you through the storm and safely guide you to your desired haven. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. (Isaiah 43:2 NLT)

Help from Trouble

Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless. Through God we will do valiantly, for it is He who shall tread down our enemies. — Psalm 108:12-13 (NKJV) Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses (Psalm 107:19 NKJV). Instead of putting your trust and confidence in man to save you, call upon the LORD, in your time of trouble. When everyone else abandons you, the LORD will stand with you. The battle is not yours, but God’s (2 Chronicles 20:15).

He Calms the Storm

Then they cry out to the LORD in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; So He guides them to their desired haven. — Psalm 107:28-30 (NKJV) In the midst of any trouble call out to Almighty God. He always hears our, “LORD, help me!” prayers. As we journey through life, the storms will come, but praise God, He faithfully bring us through each and every one. Eventually, the raging waters that threatened to knock our boat over will be stilled. And the LORD will lead and guide us to our desired haven.

When I Am Weak

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. — 2 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) The Amplified Bible says: when I am weak [in human strength], then am I [truly] strong (able, powerful in divine strength). When we are weak, the strength of Christ works through us. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak Isaiah 40:29 (NIV). May you be strengthened in the Lord today!

Get Back Up!

A righteous person may fall seven times, but he gets up again. However, in a disaster wicked people fall. Proverbs 24:16 (GW) No matter how many times you may stumble and fall, get back up again. We can endure troubles, hardships and distresses because the LORD is our helper. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up (Hebrews 12:1, GW). James 1:4 tells us to let perseverance finish its work so that we may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. When life knocks you down, get back up again and never quit!
