Neenee, I Need You!

As you have read in a previous post, last week I kept four of the Schubert grandchildren.

I want to share with you a story about my 3 yr. old grandson Bo. The last night he was here he had a rough night sleeping! At about 2:30 a.m. I was awakened by his loud cry:

"Neenee, I need you, Neenee, I need you"! Warren did not even hear him! Our bedroom is on the other side of the house from the 2 other bedrooms (the livingroom, kitchen, and laundry room are between them).

I heard Bo and quickly went to him; asking him what was the matter. Still in his bed sitting up, he told me that he was scared and that his legs hurt! So I laid down beside him reassuring him and rubbing his weary, little legs to help relax the muscles.

Awakened now, the Lord had my attention, so I prayed and meditated on this occurance in the night hours. What was the Lord wanting me to know/see? Here is what came to my mind:

In the darkest of night, the scariest of night, the most painful of night, Lord you are there!

When I cannot see around me what is going on that causes me fear and pain, Lord, You are there!

All I need to do is cry out to You: "Lord, I need You, Lord, I need You!" (Just like Bo cried out for me.) And in that instant, You, O Lord, are there to comfort my heart and soul with your grace and peace. (Just like when I heard Bo's cry for help and came immediately.)

And just like the Lord will do, He confirmed this meditation of my heart today in His Word. Psalm 18: 6 (The Message)

A hostile world! I call to GOD,

I cry to God to help me.

From His palace He hears my call;

My cry brings me right into His presence -- a private audience!

Remember today that

Jesus is your Advocate -- cry out to Him for help!

He is ALWAYS THERE READY to meet your NEEDS!
