At Wits End

Psalms 79:9 NLT - Help us, O God of our salvation! Help us for the honor of your name. Oh, save us and forgive our sins for the sake of your name.

I think most people would relate to this passage of scripture as each and every one of us go through deep trials and difficulties in our lives. There comes that point when all we have left is God and we find ourselves crying out to Him for help, strength and deliverance. Jeremiah just watched the city of Jerusalem fall to the Babylonians. God had revealed to him that this day was approaching but when it actually came – it was a very sad season for Jeremiah and the people of Jerusalem. War leaves such devastation, hurt and pain. It is no different with us as we all struggle with out own hurts, habits and hang-ups. We wonder if we will ever get through that season of pain in our life. We do what we can to help the situation but that is never enough. Eventually, after using up our resources we call out to God because the pain is too much. I've heard it said that we don't change when we see the light but when we feel the heat. That is so true. Fortunately for us – God does hear us when we call and will answer us. It might be a “yes” or a “no” or just “wait” but He will answer us. God is just waiting for you to turn to Him fully and for you to cry out to Him for your needs. He loves each of us so much. He wants to help us and He is willing and capable of doing just that. Call out to Him! Cry out to Him with your burdens. He is there – willing and waiting. He is ready to go to battle for you but is just waiting for you to come to Him first.
