Isaiah 30:19 ~ How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. (Our Daily Bread devotion) ~ One of the early games that many parents play with their children involves a fake scare. Dad hides his face behind his hands and suddenly reveals himself while saying, Boo! The child giggles at this silliness. As we get older, our fake scares become sophisticated. Being scared is so invigorating that we may begin taking bigger risks for bigger thrills. But when a real scare comes, we may realize that we, like the ancient Israelites (Isa.30), have wandered from the One who loves and cares for us. Recognizing that we are in danger, we panic. Our call for help does not require sophisticated words or a well-reasoned defense, just a desperate cry. Like a loving parent, God responds quickly for He longs to have us live in the protection of His love where we need never be afraid.
