Crying Out to the Lord

“But when they cried out to the LORD, he raised up for them a deliverer. . .” (Judg 3:8-9).

I often receive requests to help someone whose life is in a difficult place.

After a few questions  my prayer is that I am able to discern if the Lord has called me to get involved.

Many times I’m shown this person has not experienced enough pain to want to do anything about their situation, they are not hungry enough yet at that time.

Until they are really ready to cry out to the Lord for a solution to their situation, they will simply talk about desiring change but never take the necessary steps needed for change.” (A Vision Without Action is Only a Delusion.)

If you invest time and time and time into someone who has not yet come to the place of wanting a spiritual solution to their problem, you will become emotionally exhausted.

The apostle Paul understood this principle when he actually turned such people over to Satan for the destruction of their flesh (I Cor. 5:5).

The people of Israel were finally in enough pain to cry out to God for relief from their oppression.

Like so many times throughout the scriptures, God answered by raising up a deliverer. (Judge 3:8-11).”

*Are you in a difficult place in your life?

*Are you only talking about changing or are you really ready to cry out to the Lord for a solution?

Start now the process of changing your situation for the better and asking for help if needed.

God wants us to receive His Love with the open-hearted trust of a little child.

“Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it at all.” Luke 18:17

God will sometimes let us encounter great difficulty, but he never abandons us.
*He never leaves us all alone.
*He always gives us the power and courage we need to face our opposition.

*He finds a way to work it all out and uses it for his glory.
**God never abandons his people!

I Thank you, Father, of how you give courage and boldness to the one’s who are in great trouble. Grant to me the boldness to cry out to You Lord! Amen

Psalms 139
