As a part of our sort of Christmas theme, I was recently asked to tell our church a story of how God has rescued me. My first thought was, "Me? rescued? I feel like I'm a complete mess at every moment," and my second thought was, "Which story of rescue? There are thousands."
But, I gave it a moment, and God was faithful to walk me through. The process was humbling and exhausting and simply beautiful.
A few people have asked for the text, so I thought I'd put it here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
God rescues his people from all kinds of
heinous sin. And my life is a story of
redemption from sin. In scripture, we
also see God comfort his people through all kinds of griefs. From Job's utter devastation to Ruth's
poverty, we see God rescue our souls from all our sins and sorrows. And my life - and I know many of yours - are
stories of those rescues.
But he is also rescuing me from a sneakier
devil.
