Quick, Help Me!

Psalms 38:22
Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

I was never the one to look for trouble.  I didn't have to, it always found me.  A few years ago I was thinking about that and wrote a song with these lyrics...

Sometimes it's sickness, sometimes a sorrow,
And sometimes its trouble inside.
Sometimes a burden, sometimes a struggle,
With all of the sin in our lives.
It could be headaches and it could be heartaches,
Or it could be this body we're in
It could be a trial that you've gone through lately
That you thought would never end.

Remember now, I didn't have to find trouble it always found me.  But there were things my dad told me that could help trouble stay away.  He used to say to me, "If you're out past midnight son, you're looking for trouble".  I really didn't pay much attention to that until I got older and looked back.  He was spot on!

There are some times that we can do nothing to prevent these troubles from coming.  Man that is born of woman is a few days and full of trouble. This means that troubles will come. It's not "if" troubles come, but it's "when" troubles come. It's what happens in those times of trouble that make a difference.

David was a man that knew troubles.  Some he couldn't prevent, but some that he caused.  Look at what David knew to do when troubles came upon him.  He would cry out unto the Lord.  He would say, "Help Me! Make Haste to Help Me, O Lord MY Salvation".  He was pleading for the help of the only one who could help.  Notice he was asking God to haste and help.  Run unto me Lord for I need help now.

Maybe before this day has begun you are already in that position.  You need the help of the Lord and you need it now.  Pray unto Him! Ask Him to come speedily and help you.  Thank you Lord for your readily available help to me.  You act quick!  You were so quick to save me and to help me.  I love you Lord! Thank you!
