Rescued and Re-built

"In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried out to My God; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him. even to His ears."               Psalm 18:6.  NKJV

Think back to that time when you were in despair; when things had all come apart in you life and you had no one to help you or anywhere to go. You were all alone. All of a sudden, you had a hope in your heart because God had turned up.

Think back to that time when you felt that your were going to die. You were so ill, so weak that people were writing you off when they visited you in hospital or at home. You felt your life was over. All of a sudden, God turned up and performed a life-saving miracle.

And what about that time when you were so alone. You had no one to love and no one to love you. You were all alone. Then, out of nowhere, God sent someone into your life and your world was set on fire with love, happiness and joy once again.

Now look around you at what you have. It may not be much in today's recognition of wealth that is true; but it is yours. God gave it to you and it is precious. Also, you may have some aches and pains, age may be creeping up on you; but stop a moment and thank God - you're alive!

Life can be so competitive at times, with people striving for bigger and better homes, cars and status. That's ok. If that is what gives them pleasure, who are we to judge. However, don't let people's wealth and status make you feel second rate. There is no class level in the Kingdom of God. People may have great assets at this time, and that is fine. But, they will not be able to take it with them when they die. It will be over and we will all be of one class level.

What we have got is Jesus and He is all we need. He saved us, rescued us and is re-building us. He is the one that went that extra mile for each of us and paid the price of our sin on the cross. Jesus is the one who gave you what you have now. Whatever other people think about wealth and status is nothing compared to the priceless love and companionship that He gives you each and every day of your life. 

It is time to start praising and thanking Him for His love and care. Amen? Amen!
