So this is the week that's hard for us single Mamas, its camp week. It can be a lonely time for those of us who are always with our children. Knowing that they are growing in Jesus is a comfort during these weeks. But what about me? What am I willing to let Jesus teach me over my week of household solitude? Last night was a lesson in who to call. I need to be reminded who to call out to in my distress. All to often in my life a problem will come up and who do I call....My friends! I am blessed with the dearest group of friends! I'm daily thankful for them! But in my moments of distress I find myself calling out to them first. Something goes wrong, or upsets the balance of our household and I am quick to pick up the phone and reach out to one my trusted friends to seek comfort in their words or wisdom. Friendship is a gift from God, but my Heavenly Father is the only place I should be seeking comfort or wisdom right now! This is a lesson I needed to relearn. ~Call Him for Comfort 2 Corinthians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Father who is full of mercy, the God of all comfort. ~Call Him for Wisdom James 1:5 Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom ~Call Him in Trouble Psalm 50:15 God says, “Call me when trouble comes. I will help you, and you will honor me. ~ This is our Heavenly Father speaking, He WANTS us to call out to Him when we are in trouble. ~He hears Me 1 John 5:14 We can come to God with no doubts. This means that when we ask God for things (and those things agree with what God wants for us), God cares about what we say. Psalm 18:6 says In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears. ~ My distressed cry will be heard. Jesus hears me when I call! No dialing, no ringing, no text delivered. I call to Him and He hears me. So this week when the house is quiet or a problem comes up, before I reach for my cell, I'm going to allow my Heavenly Father to minister to me. And while doing so I will praise Him for the blessings of my friendships.
