How many of you have seen the show, "Frasier"? It was a very witty sitcom with Dr. Frasier Crane, a Talk Radio Pyschiatrist, and he would always answer, "Dr. Frasier Crane, I'm listening", in a very soothing, authoritative, psychiatrist voice. He was available to listen 2 hours a day and then was off to live his upscale life in Seattle.
I'm so glad that God is not like that.
One of my favorite scripture verses is Psalm 40:1 I waited patiently for the Lord, he inclined (listened) and heard my cry.
Sometimes we have to wait patiently for the Lord. Sometimes I am not really very good at the patience part. But the key here is that God listens. He hears us.
Verse 2 reads, He brought me also out of the horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon the rock and ordered my goings. (GNV)
Not only does He hear us but He rescues us, from whatever horrible pit or sticky situation we are in and sets us back on our way.
Unlike Frasier, God is always available to listen to us. What I have found to be true for me is that the more I talk to Him and LISTEN to what He has to say, the faster I seem to get out of the pit. I still run to my friends for advice sometimes before I run to God, but ultimately He has the answers I'm seeking. I'm blessed to have friends that always point me back to Him.
Today's Topic: Is there a "pit" you find yourself in today? You can be certain if you cry out to God he will incline to you. Please let Randi and I know if you'd like us to be praying for you, specifically. It would be our privilege to do that.
