John Bradshaw - Help Never Came
It was a shocking story. A man in Tempe Arizona, clearly Disturbed, climbed over a fence, made his way down an embankment, and entered a lake, saying he was going for a swim. It didn't take long for him to get into difficulty, which prompted him to call out to police for help, but they didn't intervene, and the man drowned.
We won't try to judge, but what we do know is this: a person got into a life-threatening situation, needed assistance, and didn't get assistance. Aren't you glad God is not like that? The unfortunate widow received assistance from the judge. Jesus responded to Bartimaeus, and Peter, and the woman taking on adultery, and the Centurion, and the mother of the demon-possessed girl, and... well, you get the picture.
Psalm 46:1 says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble". You call for help, God hears, and he responds. I'm John Bradshaw for It Is Written.
