SCRIPTURE
Psalm 20
For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
2 May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.
OBSERVATION
David knew that he could always call on God! Most people get embarrassed to say that they need help. I personally, rather loose my dignity than my integrity. I have learned like David that God knows when you are in distress and he is waiting for you to call him. We do not need to hide our needs from our family especially not the father. Remember that the God of Jacob was there for him during his time of famine and during his time of plenty. Jacob's son Joseph was used to help his family make it through some very tough times. God was faithful to Jacob and helped him survive 7 years of famine.
APPLICATION
I believe that you can call out to God for any reason. Families all around the world our suffering through hard times and need help. The church is there to support these that are in need. We saw hundreds of people come to the WOW Jam to pick up a bag of groceries or get a hot dog. There are so many people that are in distress. I want to be used by God to be his right hand. Psalms 20:6 Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed; he answers him from his holy heaven with the saving power of his right hand.
PRAYER
Lord, I pray that you would use me to be your hands that reach out to people. I pray that I would be your feet. I want to carry the message of the gospel (good news) to people who are hurting and are in distress. I pray for people this morning that need your help, give them your provision and protection from these difficult times.
