LORD HELP

What do we do when we are walking in gloom, darkness and chained to misery?

What do we do when we make foolish choices and we are totally messed up?

What do we do when we are lost at sea and tossed about in the storms of life?

 

What do we do when we are lost, homeless, hungry and thirsty and nearly at the point of death?

 

What do we do when we are helpless?

 

The psalmist in Psalms 107 recounts from Israel’s history the faithful love of God. He discovers the password to come out from the worst possible scenario.

 

““Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he rescued them from their distress.”

Psalms 107:6 NLT

Four times in the Psalm this exact sentence is repeated:

““Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he rescued them from their distress.”

 

Two words we must never forget regardless of where we are:

LORD HELP.

In our deepest pain, the right password for God’s intervention are these 8 letters

Lord HELP.

 

What do these two words mean for us. It means three vital things:

 

Firstly, never forget God.  Regardless of where you are. 

Call out to God in the midst of your most painful mess and God is ready to rescue you.

When we are faced with our biggest mess we often tend to minimize God. We almost forget who he is and what he can do.

I am inviting you- faced with your biggest mess- to maximize God in your life. Magnify God as the centerpiece of your life.

 

Secondly, let go of your pride. It won’t take you far.

Pride stops us from calling out to God. Pride leaves us in a bigger mess.

We avoid whispering or shouting out LORD HELP- as we feel that is for those religious guys- or those who are weak and cannot handle life.

Well known author Max Lucado made this comment: Pride is the poison pill of the soul.

The more we inject ourselves with this poison, it is less likely we call out to God for his help.

 

Finally , admit you are  helpless.  You cannot handle life on your own.

You need God’s help at all times.

Have you read a verse: God helps those who help themselves.

Actually it is not in the Bible. The Bible always indicates- God helps those who admit they are helpless.

Our helplessness and humility will cause us to call out LORD HELP

 

 

My friend, Never forget the access code to get you out of your mess: LORD HELP.

God is ready to help you. Are you ready to call out for His help?
