"Call 911"

A BLAST FROM THE WORD
By Sandra Rhynes
“Call 911”

Psalms 91:15
He shall call upon Me and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.

Actually I would like for you to read all the verses in Psalm 91:1-16. There are so many promises in these verses. When I read them, I feel humbled. We are so unworthy and He loves us anyway. I admit, I don’t understand this kind of love, but I sure do like it. Sometimes we have a real problem with talking to the Lord. We get so wrapped up in our daily lives, we forget about Jesus and we forget to pray. If everything is good and things are looking up for us, we think we don’t need Him. We treat Jesus like a 911 emergency number and only call on Him when we need Him. I can tell you now---He will stick closer to you than a brother or sister. He is only a thought away. Peter got out of the boat to walk on the water and he started to go under, he spoke three words, three words, that’s all. He said, “Jesus save me.” Our Lord reached down His hand and pulled Peter up out of the water. Of course Peter walked with Jesus everyday and knew Him. He knew Jesus was his only hope. We can have that same relationship with Jesus. He is no respecter of persons. He love us just as much as He ever did Peter and always will. He wants us with Him for all eternity. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am soooo thankful we DO have Him for the emergencies as well. Let us not keep Him tucked away in our pocket only to call 911. Let us praise and worship and talk to Him everyday.

Lord of all creation and even me, I come to You with a thankful heart. I am humbled by Your unconditional love. Draw me close to You. I trust You with my very life. Help me to talk to You and walk with You everyday from this day forward. Thank You, Lord for always coming to me in time of trials and trouble. Amen
