Rescue
I had to be up by 5:15 a.m. yesterday and just incase I didn’t wake up on time, I had asked my friend if they would be willing to help me wake up in case I didn’t get up. I was grateful that they were doing this for me even though they didn’t have to. And what do you know, 5:15 hit and there they were calling me. I had told them thank you and their reply was “I told you I got you”...I was reminded this morning that God is exactly the same way my friend is for us today. In the darkest moments or even in the brightest days, God has our back. You’re probably thinking...”if he did have my back, then why do things happen the way they happen?”.
That’s where the beauty is...there were many moments for me when I asked myself that same question and God was always showing me that what I was going through was just another piece of the puzzle that was going to all make sense after it was completed. There’s a song by Lauren Daigle called “Rescue”, in the song she sings “I hear your SOS, your SOS...I will send out an army to find you in the middle of darkness night it’s true, I will rescue you. I will never stop marching to reach you in the middle of the hardest fight it’s true, I will rescue you.” When I first heard this song and those specific lyrics, I was just in awe, that God is willing to go through those measures to just remind us “I told you I got you.” It gets hard to believe that, I know, I’ve been there. But in the moments when we call for help...God is there in the midst.
If we just seek him, he will show up and help you. In the daily battles that you go through, he’s fighting for you and telling you let me handle it...not you. I‘ve learned to trust in God more over the past few months. It gets hard sometimes because I don’t know what God‘s doing but that’s when he tells me, “trust me like you did before”. In Isaiah 41:10 it says “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” I love this verse because it’s God really telling us I got you!! I pray and hope that you all are encouraged to believe that God has your back through the good and the bad! He’s willing to fight for you because he loves...so let God be God!
