Pulled to Safety

Greetings from ND Willie . Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ. Happy Sabbath! Let us talk about God’s role in our lives with just a simple illustration.

Pulled to Safety

Let us first read our Memory Text📖

He reached down from on high and took hold of me. 2 Samuel 22:17

A little girl waded in a shallow creek while her father watched. Her rubber boots reached her knees. As she sloshed downstream, the water deepened until it flowed over the top of her waders. When she couldn’t take another step, she yelled, “Daddy, I’m stuck!” In three strides, her father was at her side, pulling her to the grassy bank. She yanked her boots off and laughed as water poured onto the ground.

After God rescued the psalmist David from his enemies, he took a moment to sit down, “pull off his boots,” and allow the relief to flood his soul. He wrote a song to express his feelings. “I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies,” he said (2 Samuel 22:4). He praised God as his rock, fortress, shield, and stronghold (vv. 2–3), and then went on to narrate a poetic response of God’s response: The earth trembled. God came down from heaven. Lightning bolts flew from His presence. His voice thundered, and He drew him out of deep water (vv. 8, 10, 13–15, 17).

Maybe today you feel opposition around you. Maybe you’re stuck in sin that makes it hard to advance spiritually. Reflect on how God has helped you in the past, and then praise Him and ask Him to do it again! Thank Him especially for rescuing you by bringing you into His kingdom (Colossians 1:13).
📖
Colossians 1:13 (NIV): 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves…

Question
🤔Why is it easy to overlook the good things God’s done for you in the past when you’re in the midst of trouble? How does praising God increase your faith in Him?

Shall we pray 🙏
Dear heavenly Father, thank You for coming to our aid so many times. Help us to know we can face any battle with You by our side.
