Three Requests ( Psalm 121 )

While out walking ,a man heard himself praying,''Help me! Guide me! Use me!'', six simple words,with three requests.the first one is a cry for help. Life continually faces us with all sorts of problems,some of our our own making,some caused by others. One could write a long list of problems,financial,health, work marriage,  children, addiction,and so on ,the list goes on. The old spiritual song goes,'No body knows the trouble I've seen,nobody knows ,but Jesus'. In 1 Peter  5 v 7,we read,'Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you'.Jesus knows all about your troubles,He cares for you, We read  the following in Psalm 50 v 15,'Call on me in the day of trouble;I will deliver you', so call upon Him. The next word is, 'Guide',when Jesus looked ,'he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them,because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd ( Matthew 9 v 36 ) Sheep need a shepherd,in Bible times the shepherd led the sheep,Jesus  called himself the good shepherd,in Psalm 23 , the shepherd Psalm, He leads ,Jesus knows us,knows how easily we can loose our way,so call upon Him, he will guide you.Rest assured ,for the word of God says,'For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end'( Psalm 48 v 14 ). The next word is a request ,for God to use us,or should I say,'use me',a noble desire , the question is are we willing to be used?.We are told that the labourers are few,there is always vacancies in Gods kingdom, God can use, even you,whatever task he allots , rest assured he will equip you,guide you , use you,and will provide for you.
