Who is the LORD? I thought I knew. But, like a flood, at times, the foundation of my mind becomes overwhelmed with weight and heaviness.
Do you know of this kind of stress?
What then do I do? Where do we go? What kind of witness is this?
If it’s true, that we’re not alone. And we’ve received the love of the Father and have believed on His Son.
If it’s true He promises to hear when we call, and is a present help in time of need,
what do we do when it all seems to be swept away by a flood? Can you hear the still small voice whisper,
“Hear the word of the LORD.”
Not, “read” the word. But words sprinkled throughout the entire Bible remind us to also “hear” and “listen” to word of the LORD.
“So then faith comes by hearing and hearing of the word of God,” Romans 10:17.
To hear the word it must be read and spoken. For those with no hearing, it must be signed.
So, here it goes, let’s put sound on our voice. Let’s take extra effort and read aloud, even though the carpet’s been lifted from under our feet. Even though the water is rising over our heads, let’s increase our faith by reading the Word, aloud.
Because God said.
So I open my Bible to Psalm 27.
I read aloud verse 7 first, as it fits my situation.
“Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said,”Seek my face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face LORD, I will seek.”
Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help; Do not leave nor forsake me. O God of my salvation. When my father and mother forsake me,
Then the LORD will take care of me.”
Power is given by the Lord our strength. Now let’s read on together aloud and strong every word from the 27th Psalm.
But, go to your Bible and open it up, and together we be changed by His Spirit of Love. Alone with the LORD,
Let’s make Him our trust. And hear our voice ring, and call Him today,
“Lord.”
