…You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me (Psa. 86:17)
911 is a universal emergency number in the USA, which is familiar to all of us. When there is an emergency, we need to dial 911 so that within 5-10 mins help is on our way to rescue us. There are over 9000 call centers and 100,000 dispatchers are ready to help us, however, the success rate is not always 100%.
King David prayed that “In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me” (Psalm 86:7). As we dial 911 for earthly help, we just need to call God through prayer for heavenly help. Psalm 91:1 says, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”. The 911 verse tells us that Almighty God is our help, comfort, hiding place, refuge, and protection. Let us continue to depend on our God, who is available 24×7 and who has a 100% success rate in addressing our prayers.
