Do
you ever feel that you need to be
rescued? I have had several times in my life where a rescue squad was
called to assist me during a physical difficulty. We see everyday
people who are being rescued from different types
of situations whether they be storm, automobile accidents, fire or any
number of
natural disasters. People often need to be physically rescued from all
kinds of different occurrences in their lives. We have even named a
portion of our volunteer fire department, "The Rescue Squad." Their
main
function is to help people who are in some kind of distress. The idea
of
being "rescued" is also seen in the Scripture. Psalm 35:17 says,
"Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my
soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions."
The
Psalmist wanted to be rescued from the "destruction" that was about to
take
place in his life. He wanted his soul to be rescued. There are
plenty of situations today whereby we might also cry out to the Lord to
rescue
us. There are those situations whereby we are in harm's way when we cry
out to be rescued. There are also those times when we have over
scheduled
our day and we wonder how we are going to get everything done that we
had
planned to do that day. There are schedules, business trips, meetings,
things to buy or to fix. The list can go on and on. We may even feel
that we are at the end of our rope, so to speak, and that we just need
to be
rescued from the hectic life style in which we find ourselves. It is
comforting for us to know that we, too, can cry out to the Lord and ask
for
"rescue." So, if you find yourself under a lot of pressure today,
just ask the Lord to "rescue you." You will not be disappointed and you
find rest when the Lord puts things together and gives you peace about
it.
Oh, you won't become a "superman" and get everything done, but you may
find that
with God at the head of your schedule, your priorities will be much
different. Praise God that He will rescue us in the time of difficulty.
