Cry out

I just want to say how amazing Gods word is. You can study it over and over again and you just keep learning from it. Sometimes one or two verses can teach you such a valuable lesson! I was reading a devotional this morning and the author was teaching from 1 chronicles 5:18-22. Now I have always struggled reading chronicles because it’s a lot of what seems like endless genealogies but this morning this passage popped a bit of a lesson! It said that the sons of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh were drawn into battle with the Hagrites. It goes on to say that God delivered the Hagrites and their allies into their hands because they cried out to God during the battle. It says that God helped them because they trusted in him!! We all have battles in life. We often try to fight them on our own. I just want to encourage you this morning with this: we don’t have to fight on our own!!!! We too can call out to God right there on the battlefield no matter what that battlefield might be. Whether it be marital issues, a death in the family, finances or sin issues, it doesn’t matter. If you cry out to God and here’s the key part; if you trust in God he will help you!! God is not some giant in the sky that doesn’t care! He is a personal God who loves us!! Thank you God for your word. Thank you for hearing our cries and coming to the rescue!!
Strap on your armor today (Ephesians 6:10-17) and fight with Gods help!!
