God WILL Rescue You

Say to those with fearful hearts,
    “Be strong, and do not fear,
for your God is coming to destroy your enemies.
    He is coming to save you.”

Isaiah 35:4 

 

You've seen the movies where the young people decide it would be a GREAT idea to go into the middle of nowhere, with scant supplies, where there is no power, and no one knows where they are, and then when the bad guy shows up to kill them, they become fearful and make some REALLY bad decisions.  I remember paying to watch such movies in a theater and eventually found myself wondering what special kind of idiots were these people.

 

But, don't we do many of the same type things?  We tell God, "no need to be concerned about me, I've got this" only to cry out for help later when OUR plans fall apart.  Then it becomes, "help me out of this mess I've made."  So, let me ask you something, and I'm talking to me as well, before we our plans into action do we discuss them with God first or just plow through without a thought?  

 

When things begin to go awry with our plans, we become afraid because we are no longer in control.  And it is usually at this point that we turn to God and cry our for help and rescue.  God, who loves us more than we can ever understand, always comes to our rescue.  Therefore, be strong and do not fear!  

 

How many times does God remind us of this throughout Scripture? Think about it.
