FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Cry out to God in time of distress.<\/p>\n

Mark 10:46-52<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you shy to cry out for God\u2019s attention?
\nCrying out to God is not an evidence of weakness but a communication with God. The Israelites cried out to God, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.\u201d (Exodus 2:23)<\/em><\/strong> After the bondage of over four hundred years, the cry of the children of Israel brought heaven\u2019s attention for their deliverance. God is a prayer answering God and it could be that the children of Israel did not realize that they were in bondage until the King of Egypt died. Nevertheless, their cry out to God brought them out of bondage.
\nJonah needed to cry out to God due to his self-inflicted affliction. It is written, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish\u2019s belly. And he said: \u201cI cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, and He answered me. \u00a0\u201cOut of the belly of Sheol I cried, and You heard my voice.\u201d (Jonah 2:1-2)<\/em><\/strong> Jonah, a prophet of God put himself into affliction when he disobeyed God\u2019s command. God called on Jonah, \u201cArise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.\u201d But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD…\u201d (Jonah 1:2-3)<\/em><\/strong> Is there any disobedience to God\u2019s direction in your path that caused a self-inflicted affliction? God listened and heard the cry of Jonah despite his disobedience. Will you cry by opening your mouth wide for the mercy of God due to your disobedience of God\u2019s calling?
\nEvidently, crying to God is a way out for God\u2019s deliverance from affliction.
\nDavid, a man after God\u2019s own heart cried out to God for God\u2019s attention in the face his challenge. David testified, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, even to His ears.\u201d (Psalm 18:6)<\/em><\/strong> Cry out to God in time of distress. God was not a partial God to deny the crying of blind Bartimaeus. The bible recorded about Bartimaeus cry out, \u201c<\/em><\/strong>And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, \u201cJesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!\u201d Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, \u201cSon of David, have mercy on me!\u201d (Mark 10:47-48) <\/em><\/strong>The blind man Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus and could no man kept him quiet. Do not be quiet to deny God\u2019s attention for your deliverance.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for the grace not to be a victim of denial agent before God.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
