Who Ya Gonna Call?

No. this is not a retro look at "Ghostbusters". But nonetheless a point that I hope you get.
A few days ago,it was pooring down rain. I was driving on the highway, when I passed by someone involved in a pretty bad looking wreck. They had lost control, and were in the woods wedged against a tree. Due to the fact that traffic would not allow me to stop, I called 911. The first time, I was told to call another number. I did so, and then was placed on hold! We are talking 911 here! After a short wait, I was then told again that I would be transfered to another THP site. It took about five minites to finally get the right people, and by then, help was on the way. WOW
The Bible states that some trust in horses, or chariots, but we will trust in the name of the Lord. Psalms 18 states this "In my distress, I called out to you, and you answered me, and came down from your high place....."
If you were to read the entire chapter, David states that God is his rock and fortress. That when he needed help from evil men, or persecution or confusing times, he called on God, and the word says that God answered. It kind of gives a picture of a parent who hears the scared or helpless cry of their child. They immediatly flair up and take a defensive stance to come to the rescue and take care of anyone or anything that is messing with their own. God came down, and took care of business.
I do not know where you are, but in my life, I needed to hear this. With uncertain and frustrating times, I needed to be reminded not to look to anyone else for a false hope, but rather to look to God the author and finisher of our faith. Amen.
