Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Joel 2:32
So why don’t I call on His name? Why do I run to this per-on 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 Ihave 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 “every-one” 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.
Charles H. Spurgeon
