PJP2 PROLOG 160810 PROLOG Focus - Psalm 34:17-19....Topic: HELP

Psalm 28:7 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."The Lord Is my Strength And my Shield; In HIM my Heart Trusts, And I am HELPED; my Heart Exults, And With my Song I Give THANKS To HIM."....

PJP2 PROLOG POST 160810 - Psalm 34:17-19 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."When the righteous Cry For HELP, The Lord Hears And Delivers them Out Of all their troubles.  The Lord Is Near To The brokenhearted And Saves The crushed in spirit.  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, BUT The Lord Delivers him Out Of them all."....

As I am Pondering the Concept of our Lord Being our Help, I sense The Spirit Sharing a 'living parable' of sorts - Daily, as we listen to the news, or read the on-line/headlines, we see troubles/afflictions/broken-hearts and crushed spirits galore.  Item after item screams of the chaos that appears to be overtaking our world.  Tragedy after tragedy just keeps piling on.  Indeed, it is enough to drive one to despair.  Our Lord Jesus even warned us....

John 16:33 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."I Have Said These Things to you, That IN ME you May Have PEACE.  In the world you Will Have tribulation.  BUT Take Heart; I Have Overcome the world.”....

So, here's what I Hear The Holy Spirit Sharing with me this morning.....our human view of Deliverance, Healing the Broken-hearted, Reviving the Crushed Spirit, even Salvation IS NOT necessarily the Same As God The Father's View.  Whereas we of mankind may "think" this would mean the removal of all that negativity, replaced with happiness and care-free-ness.  BUT as we see in Psalm 28:7.....TRUST....and in Psalm 34:17-19....The Lord HEARS....God The Father IS Attentive to us, and our scenario.....HE IS WORKING both Around, IN and Through us.  HIS Deliverance, Healing, Reviving (also Redeeming and Reconciliation) may, or may not Look Similar to our earthly expectation.  Yet, BLUF, the End Result will Be, our TRUST In HIM Grows for we Know HE Is FAITHFUL and TRUE.  HIS LOVE for us will NEVER fail.

So Be Encouraged, Crew - Regardless of our scenario or circumstance.....

Psalm 46:1 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."God IS our Refuge And Strength, A Very Present HELP in trouble.".....

My Prayer for us today - O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Your Ever Loving us and Providing Your Help for us.  Lord Jesus, Empower and Encourage us to Be Your Ambassadors to those who Need Your HELP.  Holy Spirit, May we Reflect Your HELP to those broken-hearted and crushed in spirit.  Father God, May we Share Your Presence and Light, Drawing Near those who do not yet Know You.  Lord Jesus, Thank You for Your Sacrifice and Resurrection - May we Be Your Agents of Reconciliation, Now and Forever.  In Your Holy Name we Pray....Amen and Amen....jaj
