– Scripture:
the rescue
We don’t want you in the dark, friends, about how hard it was when all this came down on us in Asia province. It was so bad we didn’t think we were going to make it. We felt like we’d been sent to death row, that it was all over for us. As it turned out, it was the best thing that could have happened. Instead of trusting in our own strength or wits to get out of it, we were forced to trust God totally—not a bad idea since he’s the God who raises the dead! And he did it, rescued us from certain doom. And he’ll do it again, rescuing us as many times as we need rescuing. You and your prayers are part of the rescue operation—I don’t want you in the dark about that either. I can see your faces even now, lifted in praise for God’s deliverance of us, a rescue in which your prayers played such a crucial part.
2 Corinthians 1:8–11 MSG
Key Verse – We felt like we’d been sent to death row, that it was all over for us. As it turned out, it was the best thing that could have happened.
– Reflection:
Reading the passage above it can be taken to be a dark passage of no hope. Then you keep reading and it speaks of how they only had GOD to lean on and he pulled them through it. We have to believe that it will happen, there is no other way for you to go here. We have tried doing it on our own, and it hasn’t worked. Allow GOD to rescue you.
Where do we go from here?
I can tell you to place your trust in GOD as I am doing, but if you are a new believer just coming to god this will be a hard concept to grasp just giving your life over to GOD who you really don’t even know. I seriously begin to do just that though because it works. He will rescue you if you allow him to.
Our Prayer for Today
Father, I come to you this morning humbled because of all the rescues you have come for me. I will continue to allow you to rescue me and lean on you because that is what you have asked me to do. I trust that you are who you said you are and that you have me always in a safe place. Amen.
