Psalm 86:6 Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy.

If we continue to live our lives by constantly calling out for God and relying on Him always, we will not have to spend so much time calling out for help when we are in dire need!

God wants us to constantly talk with Him and allow Him to know we are willing to ask Him for help when we need it.

We should not wait until it is too late before we ask for help!

2 Samuel 15:13 A messenger came and told David, ‘The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.’

Do you get jealous when others are liked more than you? Do you get upset about others having more friends? Do you long to be like someone else?

God has created us the way we are and the sooner we accept we are the people God has created, the better off we will be.

I’m not saying we can all be perfect if we accept the way we are – because most of us have learned bad things from others.

But if we listen to Christ and obey Him, we can live better!

Hebrews 2:17 For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

God had planned this all along, and He made sure all the right people throughout history had been in the right places at the right times for this to happen!

Even when man demanded their own kings and ways, God continued to make sure this moment would happen – the day Jesus was presented at the temple as a baby human boy!

God knows best, believe Him!
