“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.” (Psalm 145:18-19)
One day when our daughter was little, we were sitting on a park bench watching her playing on the monkey bars. Being only two, she couldn't master them very well, and was just hanging there. She started calling out for help. Within seconds, her father ran the distance to catch her. She was safe in her father’s arms and just rested there.
That is what Jesus does for us. When we are hanging on the monkey bars, He comes running over and catches us. When we are afraid, He runs over and catches us. When we are hurting, He comes quickly and catches us. When we don't know which way to turn, He comes quickly and leads us. All we have to do is call for help. We know we are safe. Our God is there for us whenever we are in need.
