Psalm 1-4 [The Message]

“Hear me WHEN I call.” How quick is when? With God it’s instant. He has the ability to seemingly stop time and do everything He needs to do to obtain the result He wants. It’s as if He can halt time and do an overhaul on your situation.

Examples:

• When someone is in an automobile accident and they can instantly see their life is in danger. They cry out to God and He sends His angel to rescue the believer.
• A Christian is in a foxhole or other war-time situation and he cries out for God for saving. Miraculously his life is spared and he lives to see another day.
• You are a painter on a tall ladder. The ladder slips and you begin falling You call out to God and He prevents your from certain injury.

Many years ago my teen-age son Mark (now 49 years old) was caddying for my dad when we were out golfing together. My dad was hitting a chip shot to the green. The ball went into the hole. Mark jumped up and down celebrating. He said, “I just asked the Lord to put it in the hole.” God answered his split-second prayer to build his faith.
