Psalm 18:6
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.
When I was a child, we would have career missionaries speak at some of our church services. They would present pictures of far away places where they spoke to people about Jesus. It was such a special moment because their passion would soon whisk them away, and we would hear nothing until they reemerged years later. Now I can message our missionary partners and get replies in seconds even if it would take me weeks to physically visit. We take for granted how easy it is to communicate.
Do you take for granted how easy it is to communicate with God? You have always, at any time and in any state of holiness or sin, been able to speak to the God of the Universe. The distance that separates us isn’t physical, He’s everywhere, but it is great. How could dust like us dare to speak to the Holy One? Yet, in our distress we can call and He will hear. Mercy like that should not be forgotten, but valued as precious. Pray to your God today.
Prayer prompt: Lord, thank You for hearing me, even me, when I call.
