“Call on God”

 Psalm 28:1

To You I call, O LORD my Rock; do not turn a deaf ear to me.

For if you remain silent, I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.  (NIV)

     My journey through this life has taught me some very hard lessons; that living apart from God is a life lived in vain.  Living without God is living a lie.  It's living in darkness that is filled with shallow hope at best, because you believe that no matter what you do or what you gain, it will always come to an end as if it had never happened.  Without our Lord God and Savior, Christ Jesus, there would be no eternal hope, for there would be no forgiveness, only condemnation.  There would be no joy or lasting purpose—only death and more darkness. Without Jesus as our Advocate, our cries for mercy and grace would fall on deaf ears.  If God the Holy Spirit was not living and actively working in this fallen world, it be a living hell for everyone, for there would be no grace—only the luck of the draw. 

     Christ Jesus is the only true and living God we have, and He is the only One who can keep us from the death and destruction that awaits this world and all those who belong to it.   If you can picture a world without Christ and His Church, you would picture a dark and brutal life, for it would be nothing but empty chaos and misery with no escape other than dying!  God hears all the cries of His suffering people, who are blindly grasping for answers and a hope for the future.  And if they would only set aside the madness of this fallen world and call on God, quiet their hearts, and listen for His Still Small Voice, He would answer.  And when when you wait in faith, the Lord will do what He always does best, which is bringing everlasting hope and blessed salvation. 

                                         A Whisper of Hope

Take heart, My child…For I have overcome this dark and evil world.  I know just how cruel and difficult this world can be, for it put me to death.  This is why I died for you; to give you a hope and a future that will be filled with joy forever!

Jeremiah 10:10

But the LORD is the only true God,

the living God.  He is the everlasting King.  (NLT)

                                   Life itself was in Him, 

              and this life gives Light to everyone.

                                     (John 1:4)
