Getting Answers from God

 Psalm 3:4

To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill.

Do you cry out to the Lord? Many people are crying out right now, but some have forgotten how to get an answer.

It is important to direct our cries to the one who has the answers. We don’t get what we need by crying out for help to no one in particular. Our peace comes from knowing that we’re speaking to someone who can provide the correct answers, someone who wants to help us.

We need to know what to expect from the one we’re crying out to. When we cry aloud to the Lord, we know that he is interested in shielding us, answering us, and sustaining us. He wants to bless us.

If a man hasn’t had food or water for twenty-four hours, he’s not going to be picky about the brand name on the water bottle you give him. When we ask for help from God, we shouldn’t be picky about the kind of guidance God gives. No matter what advice He gives us, we should respond to God with passionate obedience. 

Why would God want to answer us when we have no intention of accepting his instruction?

What good is it to call to the Lord if we don’t concern ourselves with his answer? It is important to listen for the answer with the expectation that we’ll obey his instruction.

When we call to the Lord, we can be sure that the guidance we’re waiting for will bring us to a better place in our lives. He will help us achieve those little victories that keep us walking forward.

I know that God is love. His answers are full of love because that is how he guides his children.
