The recent disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 puzzles officials because no distress call was ever recorded. The international mayday distress signal…always repeated three times in succession…is followed generally by the nature of the emergency. But no call was given. The future of the passengers was erased. And for families and friends waiting restlessly in Beijing, all hope of rescue had been cut off. Professional search teams needed wisdom.
Wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Proverbs 24:14
When Solomon penned the Proverbs, he issued repeated reminders to seek wisdom for all of its benefits. It is sweet and good, he said, like honey. The wise person will acknowledge when he is facing trouble and send his distress call to the Lord. Solomon’s father, David, made a great statement of faith when he said there is hope in the Lord who made the heavens and Earth and sea (Psalm 146:5-6).
Diplomats hope for peace, economists hope for solutions, and researchers hope for cures to devastating diseases. But the Author of hope and the Sustainer of the future asks you and the nation’s leaders to trust in Him – to issue their own “mayday” calls, for He alone is their help.
