A call away

Have you ever been looking for someone and couldn't find them? I mean, it could be as simple as trying to find your child inside your house. You run up and down the stairs, you look in the cabinets, you search the closets and toy boxes. You run outside, you run inside, you frantically search but can't find them. You finally start to sit down on the couch and panic when you find them sitting on the couch.

When you tell them that you had been searching for them, they usually look at you and say, "Well, I've been sitting right here." You respond, "Why didn't you say something? Why didn't you notice that I was looking for something? Why didn't you come to me?" To which, you will get the response, "All you had to do was call me."

Today's word is Lamentations 3:57, NIV, which reads, "You came near when I called You, and You said, 'Do not fear.'"

I think we often go through a lot of panicked searching, when all we have to do is call. So many of us will try to find a way to fill the void we fill with anything and everything except the Right Thing. We will search high and low and find ourselves lost and broken time and time again, when all we have to do is call on the Name of the LORD.

The next time you find yourself searching for something, anything, call on the Name of the LORD. He sees all. He knows all. He does all. And, as today's word reminds us, when we call, He will come near. JESUS is just a call away.

Be Blessed,
