Switching the Channel
One day a man died at the controls of his small airplane while on the way to Georgia, from North Carolina, His wife that was sitting next to him did all that she could to keep the plane flying. She radioed for help. “Help, help, won’t someone help me? My pilot is dead.” Authorities who picked up her distress signal were not able to reach her by radio during the flight because she kept switching the channels. Eventually she made a rough landing and had to crawl for forty-five minutes to a house for help. How often God’s children cry out to Him for help but switch the channels before His message comes through! They turn to other sources for help, looking for human guidance. When you cry out to God for His help, don’t switch the channels. “OLord, God of my salvation,I have cried out day and night before You.Let my prayer come before You;Incline Your ear to my cry” (Psalm 88:1-2). David understood that when we call to God He will hear us “I sought theLord, and He heard me,and delivered me from all my fears.They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.This poor man cried out, and theLordheardhim,And saved him out of all his troubles” (Psalm 34:4-6). One thing about David was that when he needed help he knew to always turn to God, and wait for God’s help. Sometimes it came quickly and sometimes it took longer. But one thing David teaches us is that God’s help always came to him. Are we waiting on God or do we give up to early at times and switch the channel? Ernie
