Call On His Name And He Will Deliver!

Joel 2:32  And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
 
So why don’t I call on His name?

Why do I run to this person or that person, when God is so near and will hear my faintest call?

Why do I sit down to plot my own course and make my own plans? 

Why don’t I immediately place myself and my burden on the Lord?
 
Straight ahead is the best way to run, so why don’t I run directly to the living God?

Instead, I look in vain for deliverance everywhere else, but with God I will find it.

With Him I have His royal promise:“ [I] will be saved.”

And with Him I never need to ask if I may call on Him or not, for the word “everyone” is all encompassing. It includes me and means anybody and everybody who calls upon His name.   

Therefore I will trust in this verse and will immediately call on the glorious Lord who has made such a great promise.
 
My situation is urgent, and I cannot see how I will ever be delivered.

Yet this is not my concern, for He who made the promise will find a way to keep it. 

My part is simply to obey His commands,not to direct His ways.

I am His servant, not His advisor.
 
I call upon Him and He will deliver me.
