My Help

 

praying everything
stays alive
until their return

Seeing a wilting cucumber plant from the kitchen window, we hurry outside to water it.

“You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay. Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; and let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified”. “. Psalm 70:4,5

I am your help
and your deliverer
I will
not delay

to make glad
those who seek Me
who magnify
Me today.

A Deliverer

“So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs.” Judges 3:7
“Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.” Judges 3:8
“When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.” Judges 3:9

God has raised up a deliverer for us all in His Son, Jesus.

Lord, no matter where or to what depths our sin has taken us, let us cry out to You now and be saved. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Cry Out To Jesus

I kept falling farther
and farther down the stairs

no sense trying to climb out
I couldn’t get up from there

every move sunk me deeper
and deeper into despair

until I cried out to Jesus
and He became my answer and my prayer.
