A Daily Devotional
About your rescue by our Lord…
Job 5:17 "Blessed is the man whom God
corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. 18 For he wounds,
but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal. 19 From six
calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will befall you. (NIV)
In every way, we must make our plea with our
Lord Jesus to rescue us from being caught up in the world. We must not look at
the world with envy or want. Instead, we should look to Christ at all times.
When you have needs and fears, look to Christ first, for in Him you can find
what you need. In Christ you can find courage to face each day. When calamities
befall you, God will help you know He is near you. When things go wrong, He will
help you know He is near you to help put things right. When you are confused and
do not know where to turn, open your heart and mind to His truth, His love, and
His wisdom. When you are tired, Christ will give you added strength to move
through each day. When the content of your life seems to crumble, you can turn to Christ and live
in His love. In every moment, Christ is waiting to lift your spirit so you can
be His example in this time and place. In Christ, you need not be anxious
about this world or this life. In Christ, you can be rescued to find His
security and infinite love.
