When I Call

Psalm 4:3

Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him.

Have you ever called a friend when you were in need, only to get their voicemail?

Have you yelled across the yard for your son to come inside, but he can’t hear you?

Have you spoken to your own husband about things dear to your heart, only to find he’s fallen asleep after your third sentence?

God doesn’t have ears like humans.  He doesn’t tune us out, he never gives us a recorded message, and he’s always awake – he never sleeps!

What a friend he is!

This verse reminds us that he holds our faithfulness dear to his heart, and he hears us when we call to him….day or night.

He answers us, he can hear us from any pit we’ve fallen into, and he holds dear everything we share with him – he takes it to heart – and he heals our heart.

God is the best friend we could ever hope to have – he remains faithful always – and his ears are always set to recognize our voice when we call.

Call on him.  Chat with him.  Pour out your heart to him.  He’s awake and listening…
