Just When I Need Him Most

Just when I need Him, Jesus is near,
Just when I falter, just when I fear;
Ready to help me, ready to cheer,
Just when I need Him most.

That's the song that I thought of late this afternoon after I finished, what I thought was going to be, an easy task. I read an article this week about the drought and how bugs were finding refuge indoors. No sooner than I got through reading the article did I find a baby roach in the kitchen. I was sick. I hate those critters. I know God made roaches just like he made flowers, but he had to have another task for them than for crawling around in my kitchen.

David and I had to do a funeral this morning and then there was lunch at the church following the graveside service, so I decided to bomb the house. Not literally, of course, but with one of those Raid Roach Bombs. Actually, I used 3.

I yanked everything out of the cabinets and covered it up, moved my plants outside, and set off the bombs as I set out for the funeral.

When I got home, I knew the task of putting everything back in the cabinets awaited me, but what I didn't know is that it takes 4 times as long to put things back. Especially if I wash everything, sort through spices, wash down cabinets, sweep and mop the floors and throw away unnecessary "stuff".

Anyway, when I was returning the non-perishables back to the cabinet, I found a package of Batherpy ... Bathe away your sore muscles, aches and pains. Now, don't ask me why Batherapy was in the kitchen cabinet for I fear I can't answer that question, but it did come at a great time. I had reached the last task of the whole bombing adventure and I was sore and aching.

While the water was filling the tub, this song came to my mind. Just When I Need Him Most. Isn't it wonderful how Jesus is always near and just when we need him, he's right there, ready and willing to soothe away our aches and pains?
