29 … Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him … Matthew 14
🎵 I will call upon the Lord —
🎶 Who is worthy to be praised —
🎵 So shall I be saved from my enemies —
🎶 The Lord liveth and blessed be the Rock —
🎵 And let the God of my salvation be exalted —
– Michael O’Shields
Just imagine the feelings of euphoria at the fact that our Father hears our every cry. The Psalmist declared, “I love the Lord, for he heard my voice.”
By the way, if we are allowed to have favorite Psalms, I believe this one is mine. I really like this Psalm — a lot.
Now, I like the water, but in a measure that I can handle, if you know what I mean? A 4 foot deep pool or a 300 gallon hot tub is manageable. I would not want to be dropped off in the middle of the ocean all by myself. I don’t know how far down in the water one would need to sink before their mind went into crisis mode.
I can’t think of three more appropriate words to scream than these. “Lord, save me!” It says it all.
When you feel all alone, you’re not, God is there.
When your heart is broken, and no one seems to see it, God sees it.
When you are overwhelmed with grief and heartache, and no one else seems to care, God cares.
The Psalmist had that drowning feeling. Peter had that drowning feeling. Maybe you, right now are having that drowning feeling.
Call out to him. Call upon His name. It does not have to be eloquent. It does not have to be lengthy. It need only be heartfelt and — the Lord will rescue!
The Lord will save!
The Lord will not let you down or let you drown. HALLELUJAH!
“Lord, save me!”
Friend, may you be FILLED with hope today and share it with others!
