Call Out to ME

So, last night I was driving in the car with tears streaming down my face. I had just heard this story on KLOVE and God was molding me with it.

This guy shared this situation which occured a few weeks ago. I may miss something, so if you heard it, be forgiving :-)

"He works on the road alot, so he and his wife have utilize this great way of communicating online when he gets back to the hotel each night.

"One night, he got back a little early, and they were talking, enjoying each other's company and just having a really great time together, especially considering they were miles apart. Suddenly, the husband heard these weird sounds coming from his wife's end of the line, and she wouldn't respond to him. The sounds led him to believe that his wife may have been under attack or something else extremely serious. He tried calling his son, but no answer. He tried calling the authorities in his hometown, but for some reason, nothing would go through. He starts to panic, knowing that his wife is in very serious trouble and he was helpless to save her. And then he heard four words:

"Call Out to ME."

"In the hotel room, he hit his knees and prayed fervently for his wife, her safety, well-being, and protection. When he stopped, he tried his son again and got through. His son called the police, and the husband was able to hear them breaking into his house. When they found his wife, they discovered that she had been having a seizure. They were able to stabilize her and get her to the hospital. She is going to be okay."

God just spoke to my heart -- so often I seek to solve my own problems, and can you imagine how He sees this? Me, a tiny little person whom He adores, trying to solve everything by any way possible instead of crying out the ONE who can solve it? The ONE with the answers to all my questions? HE is the solution to everything I am. Everything.

And how much do I miss out on by doing it myself instead of glorifying the One who made me? Sooo much, as the ultimate purpose to my existence is to bring glory to Him. When I don't do it, I fail in my purpose. I fail. I fail Him. It may seem like nothing to me, until I look at it in that light. Father God, please guide me through the situations that arise in my life. Help me to bring You glory in everything that happens.
