Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 86:5-7.
Verse 7, "In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me."
Who do you turn to first in times of trouble? Who do you call or text first when you need an answer? Obviously, we cannot text our heavenly Father, but we can definitely call on Him and know that He is available and ready to help.
“Our experience confirms us in the belief that Jehovah the living God really does aid those who call upon him, and therefore we pray and mean to pray, not because we are so fascinated by prayer that for its own sake we would continue in it if it proved to be mere folly and superstition, as vain philosophers assert; but because we really, indeed, and of a truth, find it to be a practical and effectual means of obtaining help from God in the hour of need.” (Spurgeon)
Jeremiah 33:3, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
