THEN I PRAY
Today's reading: Isaiah 1-2, 1 Corinthians 16, Psalm 142

"I look for someone to come and help me, but no one gives me a passing thought. No one will help me; no one cares a bit what happens to me. Then I pray to you, O Lord, I say, You are my place of refuge. You are all I really want in life." Psalm 142:4-5 NLT

The more one finds out about people, the more we realize how very human they are.

They cannot always be there when we need them.

Their flaws show up.

Imperfections rise to the top.

Chinks in even the best suits of armor appear.

Oh, it's not that they don't try. Or want to. Or don't help at all. Or haven't been placed by God in to our lives.

But let's face it, no one really cares for us like Jesus.

No one else can.

We were made to need Him. No substitutes.
