Psalms 27:7 (CB)

Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud;

be gracious to me and answer me!

We often run to God when we experience difficulties. But David sought God’s guiding presence every day. When troubles came his way, he was already in God’s presence and prepared to handle any test. Believers can call to God for help at any time, but how shortsighted it is to call on God only when troubles come. Many of our problems could be handled far more easily by seeking God’s help and direction beforehand, knowing He hears and He will answer.
