NEED A RESCUE?
Have you ever been in a situation physically or spiritually where you needed rescuing? This question has been on my mind all weekend. Ben was home this weekend and shared with us that Bob Scott, the guy that shot Facing the Giants and Fireproof was actually in Haiti when the earthquake hit. As soon as was possible he began sending emails to his family and below is an excerpt of one that he sent out to all his friends and family on Friday.
I am home! In my house with my family!We were evacuated by the US military in 4 Black Hawk Helicopters Friday afternoon to a US military base in the Dominican Republic then flown home and welcomed by a crowd of 400 cheering family and friends. After that experience no one should ever doubt the might of the US Military - I knew they would use any resource and stop at nothing to get us safely out of Haiti and back home to our families. I have never been more proud to be an American!
As Ben read this to us, I couldn't help but think, "Am I that grateful every time God rescues me??" Do I share with my loved ones...."I have been rescued by My Rescuer and I knew that He would use any resource and stop at nothing to get me safely out or to deliver me from temptation in that area....and I have never been more proud to be a child of God!!" We could all proclaim that each and every day!
Psalm 18 promises us that "The Lord is my rock, my rescuer and my deliverer!" So, if you find yourself in need of rescuing, you have Someone so much more powerful to call on than 4 Black Hawk helicopters...the Word tells us that He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways! Psalm 91 goes on to say, "Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him."
That is awesome news and definitely something to write home about!
I love you!
Wendy
