Let God Rescue You

We each have times in our lives that we feel we need to be rescued. This rescue could be from a troubled marriage, a misbehaved child, illness in our life or a family member, family turmoil, etc. We may pray for God's help but do we truly expect to be rescued from what we are praying about. We should!

King Herod had Peter arrested and the church (people of the congregation) prayed urgently to God. They truly believed that God would rescue Peter. You know what? He did. Peter was asleep chained to two soldiers. An angel entered the prison and told Peter to "Get up quickly" Peter did and the angel guided him passed the guards and through the gate of the prison which just swung open. As they were walking along a city street the angel disappeared. Peter knew that his Lord had rescued him. Read Acts 12:1-11.

God did rescue Peter from circumstances beyond most of our imaginations. We can rest assured that God can rescue us from whatever is going on in our life. Believe in him, Pray to him and have faith in his ability to come to our side. We don't know what form our rescue will be in, but we know that God has the power to do anything.

Today's Prompt: The Word 'Emerge'

I opened the dictionary and picked a word at random and then wrote a journal entry about that word.

Ok, I have the dictionary in front of me. I'm now going to just open it to a random page and the first word that my eyes focus on is the word I have to use to write my entry. The word must be used in a significant manner.

The word is........ emerge

When we are faced with obstacles in our life or serious trials and tribulations we may feel as though we've been stopped dead in our tracks. Not knowing which way is up and definitely not which way is out. At first where ever we are stuck is the place where we go around in circles emotionally. Some people get stuck in a denial stage while others may be stuck in a mood of anger or sadness. Everyone reacts differently and there is no right or wrong way to respond to difficult circumstances. We have so many different thoughts going through our minds and as a result we are confused and often very frightened. However the time we spend lost in this emotional wilderness help us to dig deep within our souls and find our true self. We get in touch with who we are and we get in touch with our strength. I've came to the conclusion that this chaotic adventure is necessary in order for us to get through whatever it is we are facing. I believe that this is what gets us on the road to hope. We soon 'emerge' from this emotional wilderness into the full light that brings us hope and we 'emerge' as a stronger person with an attitude of acceptance and the determination to push on and get to the next level in store for our lives. It is just the road we must travel in order to reach the beginning of our new life.
