DESPERATE TIMES 1 | CALL ON GOD FOR HELP
1. Desperate Times
a) When everything seems to be falling in around us, when the walls seem to be closing in on us, when nothing in our world or in this world seems to hold any hope, when everything looks completely hopeless, just remember that God is not ever caught by surprise. He will save those who are His from calamity (Hebrews 7:25). He isn’t ever going to abandon us, forsake us, or leave us. If you are not one of His then you do not have such hope nor can you claim any of His mighty promises.
b) We pray right now that you seek Him because anyone who seeks Him He has said He can be found.
Isaiah 55:6
“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.”
2 Corinthians 6:2
“For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you. I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.”
c) Tomorrow may be too late but it not too late right now to put your complete trust in Him, to depend on Him, to call on Him. This is our prayer for you.
2. Call On God For Help
a) What can we do when we are in desperate situations? Can we call on God? Can we depend on God? Can we trust in God?
b) These are sobering times that we live in today. Many people have lost jobs and can’t find one. Others are underemployed and are just barely making it. The unemployment rate is soaring, the stock market is highly volatile, and famine is spreading worldwide. Families are losing their homes due to failed mortgages. There are severe droughts, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, and tornadoes. And with turmoil going on in the world people are becoming desperate; even the people of God. What can we do when our backs are against the wall and we have no where to turn and we are in serious trouble?
c) God actually desires that we be utterly dependent upon Him and that we are in desperate need of His help. Think of a human father. What good father would not want his children to turn to him when they need help? Naturally, a father loves it when his children come to him to seek help. There is something special about having someone there for you. God is this true source and He is more reliable than any human father or mother.
