When we put our trust in God we are rewarded by Him.
When we put our trust in God He shows us how merciful He can be toward us, how loving He is, how gracious and how good He is.
We know how wonderful God is because He communicates with us.
All those who believe in God and put their trust in Him can utter the words of the Psalmist and declare with him how much we: 'Love The lord...' 'because He hears our voice and our supplications'(Psalm 116 v. 1). The reason why believers can say this is because 'The Lord inclines His ear to us...' and this is what gives us the certainty of the knowledge of God's existence and why we can say that: 'We will call upon Him as long as we live'.
King David states that his experience of God's Love for him came at a time when: 'The sorrows of death compassed him, and the pains of hell had got hold upon him: Trouble and Sorrow is all he found!' But then in the midst of his circumstance he says that he: 'Called upon The Lord - to deliver his soul...'.
David tells us of a number of attributes he has discovered about the nature of God.
He shows us in Psalm 116 that God is patient with us, and long suffering toward us.
That God Loves us, because He is willing to listen to us.
That, although God is Gracious and Merciful toward us, that He is also Righteous.
That God is our helper, when life brings us low before Him.
That God deals bountifully with us, and gives us rest.
That God will deliver us from death, and our eyes from shedding tears, and will not let us slip and fall.
That God encourages us to walk before him in the land of the living.
He gives us the cup of His salvation so that we may call upon The Lord, and pay our vows to Him, in the presence of others, who are also witnesses.
This is truly a wonderful Biblical fact and especially so, when we call upon the name of The Lord and offer to him the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
For, like the Psalmist, all believers find that they too share this same knowledge of God's abiding presence. The world cannot understand this relationship that God has with all who those believe in Him. The world is dead to the presence of God and conversely all those who truly believe in God are dead to the world but alive unto God who loves them. I too can say: 'I love The Lord, because He hears my voice'.
Why don't you call upon The Lord today! He says 'call upon me and I will answer'.
If you shall call upon him with all your heart and truly seek Him he will answer you.
Do it now! The Lord is waiting to hear from you.
