THE LORD HEARS YOUR CRY
Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
The Bible tells us of Sarahs maidservant Hagar, who had to flee from her house, taking her son. All that Abraham gave her was some bread and water. On her way, the water also got exhausted . The boy Ishmael was on the brink of death due to thirst. Unable to bear the gruesome sight, Hagar went a little farther and cried. Through an angel, the Lord showed her a well and quenched the boys thirst. In that place, Hagar called Him as the God-Who-Sees.
We also read in the Bible of how miraculously the Lord led Moses. My deceased mother, in days when my father was not yet a Christian, used to fast and pray once in a week for his salvation. But, my father would frantically hold on to his faith and especially on Sundays, he would behave quite contrary to my mothers faith.
Just then in 1986, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Even then she fasted and prayed with a vow saying, Lord! Change my husband somehow. If you do so, I shall give one of my children for Your service! The Lord cured my mother and drew my father to Him.
Yes my beloved! Our Lord Jesus Christ has the heart of a mother. When we call upon Him, He will immediately come to our aid and deliver us. The Bible says, You shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am (Isaiah 58:9). When you cry unto Him, He will answer you and deliver you from your problems. According to the promise from Jeremiah 29:11, the Lord will certainly give you hope and a future. He will answer your cries and deliver you from your bondage and bless you.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father, thank You for Your great love that You have shown towards me. Im moved by Your love that You will answer the cries of those who cry out to You in distress. I praise You for the promise that You will deliver me from the trouble whenever I call to You in my distress. Lord, I shall not fear or worry about my future because my future is in Your hands. Help me to delight in Your wonderful ways. Let Your blessings and goodness follow me all the days of my life. Amen.
