"A Distress Call"

Psalms 69 [To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, A Psalm of David.] This is beyond just coincidence, but this word 'Shoshannim' was also in the introduction of Psalms 45; which I was talking about where God was, here or heaven, just prior to the beginning of that Psalm also. If you remember the meaning of this word, it is a work or ornament resembling lilies, or the trumpet. There are three Psalms which have this word used in them, Psalms 45, 69 & 80, and each of those Psalms speak about work being done that only Jesus Christ is capable of doing, and they speak of urgency and power. Let's get this straight, Jesus came down from heaven, and when He was done doing what He did, He went back up into heaven. Heaven is not here, or anywhere close to here; it's not even within view of our telescopes, no matter how far they might be able to view. Everything that we see is all connected to a space-time continuum, something which cannot contain God, because God is everywhere and He is eternal. So, where ever heaven is, it's not here! Now with that in mind, think about what might be the connection of this title, "A Distress Call", and why this might have any connection to the previous Psalm which spoke about "The True God." Most people would probably not even try to make the connection between the two, and maybe I should not either; but I am under the opinion that this Book, The Holy Bible, has been written by God! He used men to write it, but these are His words to us, His children, and He has placed them in specific order, also performed by men, to instruct us, to encourage us, and to show us how much He loves us. So excuse me if I try to make some sort of a connection, because there is a very profound connection when it comes to calling out to God, you had better know the God you are calling out to... "When He came to the village of Nazareth, His boyhood home, He went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: "The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, for He has anointed Me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the LORD'S favor has come." He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at Him intently. Then He began to speak to them. "The Scripture you've just heard has been fulfilled this very day!"" (Luke 4:16-21) NLT
