In Psalms, chapter seventy-seven, verses one through twenty, this psalm portrays a person in great trouble who cried unto God but could find no evidence that He was responding, as in verses seven through nine. Faithful believers sometimes find themselves in a similar situation. If so, they should do as the psalmist did: continue to call on God day and night, as in verses one to two, while remembering God’s past deeds of love. In the fullness of God’s revelation in His Son, as in Romans eight, verse thirty-two, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?”
The call to God for help is the title of the theme chapter from the Old Testament. Asking for assistance is one thing. However, seeking it is another. “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you, from Luke eleven, verse nine. Today, asking for something is simple but the reply from who we ask may be the challenge.
Sometimes, we ask for or about something, and the response might not be what we expect from society, whether we engage with a stranger, co-workers, neighbors, friends, or family members. However, when we continue to search for answers to what we need to fulfill our question or problem, the results may need us to change or adjust to improve matters. God knows already when we call Him for help or cry out in frustration or desperation to whatever the situation we are experiencing. However, are we seeking God to fix the problem or are we searching for Him to make us better in handling the matter? God is with us.
