"He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me." Psalm 18:19; 2 Samuel 22:20 NLT
What a humbling thought! The Lord of the universe delights in us. He delights in every detail of our lives because we are His (Psalm 37.23).
What a gracious God! He created us to share His love. We disobeyed Him. He died to save us. We rejected Him. He reached down and rescued us. We stumble and falter. He pulls us out of the muck and mire.
By His grace, we put our hope in His unfailing love. He directs our steps.
He delights in us because we are His.
Be filled with awe and praise as we meditate on Him rejoicing over us with joyful songs (Zephaniah 3:17).
Where have you found safety provided by the Lord? How did He rescue you?
In worshiping the Lord on a Sunday morning in Church, I was especially moved by the song, "Rescue", written by Jared Anderson and produced by Integrity in 2003. I hope this will bless you as much as it did me.
From My Heart to Yours,
Rescue by Desperation Band
Lyrics
You are the source of life
I can't be left behind
No one else will do
I will take hold of You
I need You Jesus, I need You Jesus
My heart is Yours for life I need
Your hand in mine
No one else will do
Lord I put my trust in You
I need You Jesus to come to my rescue Where else can I go?
There's no other Name by which I am saved
Capture me with grace I will follow You
My heart is Yours for life I need
Your hand in mine
No one else will do
Lord I put my trust in You
This world has nothing for me (I will follow You)
