Just Call!
The other
day I met a lad who looked very troubled, as I enquired he said, he called all
his friends for a need, but none replied. He went on to say, that one was busy,
the other not reachable and last guys phone was switched off. It is true the
friends of this world may let you down but Jesus never fails.
Every
time we call on Jesus He is there to answer us. Just as He promised in Jeremiah 33:3,
“Call to Me and
I will answer you.” In Luke 18:35 to
43, we read about a blind beggar sitting by the wayside near
Jericho, He called out to Jesus,
though there was a large crowd, and people rebuked him to be quiet yet Jesus
stopped to answer him. He was healed that day. Our Lord Jesus Christ responds
to all who call on Him. Romans 10:13 says “Everyone
who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Elijah challenged the people at Mount Carmel, saying “ you call on the
name of your god and I will call on the name of the Lord, The God who answers
…. He is God.” 1Kings18:24. As we read the entire chapter, we know it is
our Lord who answered the call of Elijah.
Anytime
you call on His name He will surely answer you. Asa the king of Judah called on the Lord, when he faced a vast
army against him (2Chronicles 14:11). The Lord
gave him a great victory that day.
What a
privilege our God answers us in all situations when we call on Him. Deuteronomy 4:7
says “For what great nation is there who has a God so near to
them as the Lord our God is to us in all things for which we call upon Him?”
