It's out of control. Gas prices are unbelievably high. Food prices are climbing. The cost of everything is being affected. Foreclosures are capturing the real estate market. Tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, weird temperatures, famine, hurricanes, tidal waves, typhoons have consumed the national and local news. I'm telling you things are out of control. Somebody has to do something.
Right now I feel like someone, somewhere has me and everyone else with our arms twisted behind our backs. I just want to cry out, "UNCLE!" Enough is enough. If someone doesn't do something soon, I think there's gonna be a revolution of some sort.
The good news is that when our lives are under duress, God is always there. When we need mercy, God is listening. When I need forgiveness, God is ready. When we're in of hope, God is offering. When in need of redemption, God supplies. When in need of hope, God points the way. When in need of love, God extends his arms.
Wherever we're at in life, God wants to supply our needs. He doesn't look at our cry for help as a weakness. He doesn't make fun of us or put the heat on us. He isn't there scolding us or belittling us. But waiting for the Lord isn't always an easy position to find ourselves. Most of us can't wait for anything. We have to have it now. But waiting is the place God loves us to be because God is looking for opportunities for us to call on Him. God's Word is full of wisdom and direction and answers to life's daily questions. It's a great place to put our hope.
God, I'm crying out to you. I need you in my life. Everything around me seems out of control. I'm placing my hope in your Word and waiting and watching for to do your work. Start in my life.
