They They Cried

Psalm 107:3
Some wandered in desert wastelands, finding no way to a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

This season I’m so thankful for those who were available to hear God and be instrumental in helping me and delivering me in times of trouble and distress. 

There are times in all of our lives when we feel as though we’re in a desert, we’re hungry and thirsty, time is passing by, and we are wasting away.  It happens to all of us.  Either we lose a job or a spouse, or even a child, and our world is rocked and changed forever, or we suffer an illness or experience a mental breakdown, or a number of other extremely hard circumstances.

It’s then that we can cry out to God and he will deliver us from our distress.  It might be through a friend’s help, a church’s resources, or it might just be his still quiet voice in the middle of the night, with words that speak to our souls and bring life where there was nothing but death.


If you’re in that wasteland today, just cry out to Him – the one who hears and answers – and look, expecting to be delivered…
