ALWAYS THERE

Psalm 55:16-23
----
Evening and morning
and at noon I will
pray, and cry aloud,
and He shall hear my
voice. ---Psalm 55:17 -

THE radio engineers who work at RBC Ministries were getting ready to broadcast a program via satellite. They had prepared everything, including the satellite link. But just as they were to begin uploading, the signal to the satellite was lost--the satellite was gone. Literally. The satellite had suddenly and suprisingly fallen from the sky. It was no longer there.

I suspect that sometimes when we pray, we think something similar has happened to God--that for some reason He isn't there. But the Bible offers us comfort with the assurance that God hasn't "fallen from the sky." He is always available to us. He hears and He cares.

In a time of desperation, David wrote, "Even and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice" (Ps. 55:17). No matter when we call on God, He hears the cries of His children. That should encourage our hearts. David said, "Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you" (v.22). Although God may not answer as we would like or when we would like, we know that at "evening and morning and at noon" He is always there. ~

God hears us when we call to Him--
His ears take in each voice;
The knowledge that He's always there
Should cause us to rejoice.
