Yesterday, I had to call the insurance company to get some information about coverage. When I dialed the number the automated system came on and asked me a series of questions. Do I want to speak in English? Type or speak your Member ID. Date of Birth in 8 digit format. Zip Code of residence. After some more series of questions, then the automated menu comes on and ask what you want. Press 1 for this, 2 for this and so on! The frustrating part is that if you want to speak to someone they rarely give you that outright option. You have to purposely not press a button or pretend like you don’t know what you are doing and finally they will say, “Let me get someone to help you!” After 5-7 minutes of trial and error and listening to things that don’t pertain to you, you finally are able to speak to someone that can help!
Psalm 46:1 States, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
When you need the Lord you don’t have to wade through a process or select other options first! He is a very present help! That means that as soon as you dial His number he answers and you get to speak to a “Live” person. Yes, God is real! He is not a statue or monument! He does not sit on the shelf. He is a present, active participant in our lives.
When you call He will answer. He is the great “I am”. “I am” in the Greek is “Ego Eimi”. Jesus in the gospel of John gave seven “I am” (Ego Eimi) statements testifying of who He is in our lives. He is our bread, the way, the truth and the life, the door, the good shepherd, the light of the world, the true vine and the resurrection and the life!
Whatever you need God to be…He is your PRESENT help!
Sound Back!
