“I will call upon the LORD, Who is worthy to be praised” (Psalm18:3).
There are many ways to respond to difficulties. While there’s nothing wrong with confiding in a trusted friend nor seeking advice from wise friends, it is so important to remember this very significant truth. DON’T SKIP OVER STEP ONE! Before we speak to others about our situation, we need to call upon the LORD. Talk with Him. Trust in Him. Obviously I am not referring to calling 9-1-1- in an emergency. Dial 9-1-1 and cry out to the Lord before the dispatcher answers. But in the typical difficult situations of life, we need to start with Step One, calling upon the Lord!
For today: What are you facing this very day? Have you called upon the Lord and talked with Him about it?
