Always on call

This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:6
If youre frustrated with the healthcare system and would like a personal physician who is always on call, you can have one for a price. Two Seattle doctors are charging wealthy patients $20,000 a year for primary healthcare. They make house calls, give personal, unhurried treatment, and say the service they provide is like other perks available to people with money. Whatever we think of the medical ethics involved, its a level of care most of us would like to have if we could afford it.
Theres another type of "on-call" relationship that cannot be purchased. In fact, its available only to those who consider themselves poor and needy. Im speaking of Gods never-failing response to His children who cry out to Him for help.
David said, "I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears" (PSALM 34:4). He also said, "This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles" (v. 6).
Jesus has been called "the Great Physician". He is not "on demand" to do as we ask, but He is always "on call" to hear our prayers and provide the deliverance we need. What an encouragement! "The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry" (v. 15). David C. Mccasland
Whenever you need Him, whenever you call;
The Lord is close by Hes the One who hears all;
When you are in trouble, when you need His aid,
Just cry out to Jesus, and your fears will fade. Fitzhugh
