God can help us get through any storm.
A friend sent me a timely devotion today about how God constantly comes to our rescue. He’s done it since the creation of Adam and He’s still at it today. I don’t know about you, but I’m daily finding myself in some sort of situation where I need a helping hand to make it through.
I guess it’s the images I’m seeing coming from Haiti that bring it front and center for me. I mean, if you think about it, everyone who has survived the earthquake in Port-au-Prince has needed someone to help them. They’ve either had a hand pull them out of the rubble or someone hand them water. But, it’s not just the Haitians that need rescuing, it is each of us.
God is there to rescue us all. He gives us his full attention and is the first to extend his hand for he knows we need his help before we do. But, often, he’s not called upon or in my case I doubt that He can do anything. But every time I call out, He’s right there letting me know that I’m not alone in this world.
Do you need rescuing? I’ve got some good news for you. There’s help for you right this minute. There’s peace during this storm. Cast your cares upon him. Your burdens are light to Him.
It’s Jesus to the rescue.
Isaiah 46:4 (New International Version)
4 Even to your old age and gray hairs
I am he, I am he who will sustain you.
I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
