The Strength of the Helpless Heart

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exist and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him
HEBREW 11:6

"I HAVE BEEN DRIVEN to my knees many times," said the American President Abraham Lincoln, "by the realization that there was nowhere else to go." It is amazing how high you can reach by bowing your knees before God.
     Consider this story: A helicopter was flak from the enemy, and the tail gunner, fearful the chopper might be shotdown, used his radio to call for help. "What your position?" asked the radio operator. Immediately then pilot responded, "Kneeling"
      It is with this kind of submission and surrender that you can discover what so many have found. There is a place of quiet rest near the heart of God. Sometimes what you day isn't nearly as important as the attitude of your heart .for instance, a little child's tears do far more to more the heart of a father than his persuasive words of argument.
      When you walk in darkness, having sustained a blow of one kind or another, you might feel as if God doesn't notice or care. He does. You are simply numbed by your pain and can't take your eyes from your wound.
      Try kneeling before the king and telling Him why you are hurting. Your Father who sees your distress and cares for you will take note, and will honor the promised of His Word. Faith tells us there is One hears your cry in the dark, who sees your tears,who knows your distress. Search your heart before Him ask Him for a new heart, a conscience washed by His Blood, and light for the next step.
