THE RESCUE

“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore He will rise up to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.” Isaiah 30:18

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

“Serve the Lord with fear, with trembling…Happy are all who take refuge in Him.” Psalm 2:11, 12b

“Those who are attentive to a matter will prosper, and happy are those who trust in the Lord.” Proverbs 16:20

Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.” Jeremiah 17:7

“Truly…you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. “ Isaiah 30:19

The swimming pool was being cleaned and the drain had been opened to allow the water out. Something was noticed in the water and a closer look revealed hundreds of baby frogs. If they went down the drain they would surely die! They had to be rescued!

I grabbed a net, but as soon as I put it in the water to scoop them up, they raced away. They were only racing away to their death. I was offering them life.

God wants to rescue us from our sin, which if we do not repent, is death. He wants to give us everlasting, new life, but many race away. He can be trusted to lift your feet out of the mire and set them on solid ground. You see, left to ourselves we are hopeless and helpless, but with Christ we can do all things for He gives us strength. Don’t run excerpt into His arms. He is our rescuer.

Don’t be like the frogs who more than likely went down the drain and were seen no more. Jesus is the net that can save you. If you haven’t, take this time to invite Him into your heart. He loves you. He wants to forgive you. Just ask Him.
