God is Always There in Our Time of Need

Verses: Bel and the Dragon 1 : 31 - 42

My thoughts about the verses:

Think about the hardest time in your life.  We all have that moment where we feel alone and abandoned.  That time when we feel that we are stuck in a hard place.  We feel that no one can help us.  We feel trapped in a situation that we are sure we will face the ultimate end.

We have all been there trapped in a situation that we feel like there is no way out.  We may feel like we are facing the loss of relationships.  We may feel as if we will lose our jobs.  We may feel that we may loss our very life.

Then all of a sudden we have a miracle happen.  Someone comes in our life that changes everything.  They help us when we thought there was no help.  They show us away to get out of the situation we are in.  It takes a moment to realize for ourselves that God has blessed us in our time of greatest need.

Imagine being Daniel and facing the impossible.  The only option he had was to pray to God to help him.  He is standing there and the lions that are hungry are not attacking him.  He knows their hunger because it has been a week since he has eaten.  Out of nowhere God sends Habakkuk to his rescue.  He then has to accept that God is his true salvation.

We have to accept that God is our true salvation.  There is one thing that you did to show your true love.  When Jesus went to the cross he died for us.  It was love that he gave his life.  The sacrifice was the pure lamb that came to do the utmost sacrifice for all of us.

God is there for each and every one of us.  God doesn’t pick and choose who will be accepted into the family.  In our darkest hour, our God is there helping us through life.  We are never alone.  In those moments that seem impossible, God is there guiding us and being our helpmate.  God will use us to help others in need.  God will use other to help us in our time of need. 

Christians around the world need to make sure that they live a “true Christian life.”  We need to open our hearts to the world.  We need to allow God to work through us.  We need to be Jesus to someone today.  We need to accept that God is there and we have no fears.

Prayer:

We praise you God.  We thank you for your love.  We worship you because you loved us first.  We praise you for you have sacrificed all for each and every one of us.  Help us walk with ultimate faith in you.  We ask that you use us to help others.  We ask that you teach us to accept the help of others.  In the name of the Savior we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you felt trapped in a situation?  Are you struggling today?  Have you asked God to help you?  Are you helping others in their time of struggle?  Are you willing to be Jesus for someone today?  Have you accepted the salvation that comes through the death of Jesus?  Are you willing to accept the many miracles that happen each and every day?
