I call on the Lord in my distress and He answers me. (v1)
This is both a testimony and a promise.
At Engine Room last week everyone wrote on flipcharts on the wall one thing that they wanted to give thanks God for. We then read what other people had written. A number of them were one-line testimonies of how God had answered a call for help.
Priscilla and I testify to how just three weeks after being made redundant, God had provided me with a new job. Just recently we have had some major expenses with birthdays, anniversary, travel, parents’ visit, broken car etc. And when we most need it, a bonus comes through and we find out that Priscilla is owed a month’s salary from when she was pregnant with Hudson!
Sometimes the answer isn't so quick. Sometimes the distress is only answered in heaven, such us with long-term illnesses. But it is always answered.
We can all testify to God answering our call and we can all rest assured that He will always answer our call. He may not do so in the timescales we want, or in the way that we want but He will all always answer.
If you are crying out to God today, rest assured that He has heard and He will answer. You know you can testify to Him doing so in the past. He hasn’t changed. You will once again be able to testify to the fact that He is a God who always responds to an SOS.
