There are times in life, when the only thing that helps is a simple cry to someone who can help. When I say “simple cry” -I mean there is no energy for a complex explanation, no words for the emotions that overcome all thought processes. Just plain, “Help me, Lord”, asked or pleaded in faith.

Who can help us the most or who is the best at sorting this out or should I say the most effective in providing a solution? The Lord God Almighty is not only our strong warrior who stands His ground on our behalf but is also our great deliverer.

That means He is able to handle this daunting task that is too hard for everyone else, even myself. I can’t figure myself out at times. The spaghetti is too complex to unravel. For those who are blessed with a waffle mentality, you may not understand this conundrum.

The good news is that there is someone who is able to “Get it Done”!

Yes, that means starting with the peace that comes to stand guard over us like a night watchman and even encouragement from those with this gifting of the Holy Spirit,

Ending with a solution that is much greater than we could ask for or imagine, we have been delivered. Delivered from the sinking sand of despair and given strength for a new day.

Apart from or maybe even in the midst of a medical emergency, we can cry out for help, like David did in this passage and be assured of God’s effectiveness in fighting our battles.-Teresa #greatGod #Hehears #Hedelivers #askHim

Psalm 18:1-15English Standard Version*

The Lord Is My Rock and My Fortress

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord, who addressed the words of this song to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said:

18 I love you, O Lord, my strength.
² The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
³ I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.

⁴ The cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;^[a]
5 the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.

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.

⁷ Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
⁸ Smoke went up from his nostrils,^[b]
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
⁹ He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.
¹⁰ He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
¹¹ He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him,
thick clouds dark with water.
¹² Out of the brightness before him
hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.

¹³ The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his voice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
¹⁴ And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.
¹⁵ Then the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
