David remembers what God has done before and he now calls on Him again. David says that in his haste, that he thought that he was cut off from the Lord.
Perhaps there was a time that you called upon The Lord but find that for various reasons, you don't call upon Him as frequently as in times past?
Perhaps there's someone reading this that may think that because of some misstep or mistakes or downright wrongful living, that your prayers are not heard or that you are disqualified for The Lord's love and blessings?
Well I'm here to tell you that when you gave your life to God, you became part of His family and He does care for you and He STILL loves you and He does protect you!
Yeah, I too have wavered from time to time. Yeah, folks talk about me, both in my face and behind my back. I've been laughed at, not taken seriously and I've been ridiculed. But, I had to get beyond man's ways and man's words and I had to trust God's Will and God's Word!
Today, in spite of what I may have done on yesterday, I KNOW that when I call on the name of The Lord that He hears and He moves and He protects and He loves me!
Guess what, the same applies to each and every one of those who have come to God, those who have given their lives to Him by way of the redemption made by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. C'mon back and call on the name of The Lord again!
"Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues. Blessed be the Lord, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city! For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You. Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord." (Ps 31:19-24 NKJV)
