“God is our refuge and strength; a very present help in trouble! Psalm 46:1 (NKJV)

“Help is on the way!” All of us watching the man pinned beneath the Jeep knew it would not be fast enough. The Jeep weighed hundreds of pounds and he began turning blue as oxygen could not get into his lungs. There were only a handful of people on the country road, but the men grabbed onto the Jeep. As they lifted, it miraculously moved up. We women pulled from under his arms, and his diaphragm was exposed. Not the end of the story, but it meant the difference between life and death for this man.

“Help is on the way!” How wonderful it would be to hear Michael, the Archangel, say, “God has heard your prayer!” We know He hears all of them, but sometimes we want immediate “fixes!” Would you ever confess to a life of doubt? Not many of us would! We don’t want friends to see that we have anything except complete confidence that God will “work all things for good” (Rom. 8:28).  Yet as we anxiously wait for God to act, millions of thoughts cross our minds: He may say no, He may say wait… and we torment ourselves. But help is on the way! He heard and He began—even possibly long before your prayer—to act. “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him!” (Psalm 37:7). He hears us when we call, and He will answer in His time. Rest in those promises!

“Oh, God! Please give us the faith to know that You are loving, good, and true! You are so powerful that we can’t comprehend Your power, so holy we can’t imagine such holiness, and so perfect we can’t conceive of Your perfection! Increase our faith as we wrestle with daily living, trying to carry our cross in this world!”

For His Glory
