Rescued
With all of the recent devastation from storms in our country, it's hard not to think of the families that have lost loved ones or may still be searching for the missing. Even those that rushed to safety, may have lost their homes or other worldly possessions. The recovery and rebuilding process will be a lengthy one and people's lives will never be the same.
As churches and other organizations come together to help meet the obvious needs of the people by doing physical labor and donating money or items, we know that there are some wounds we will never be able to heal. Thankfully, there is someone who can.
One of my favorite songs right now is Rescue by Jordan St. Cyr. The words speak of Jesus coming through in the hardest of times when we are desperate or surrounded by fear. He is described as being the Peace within Disaster and the Calm within the Storm.
Although there is much we can do to help and I will list some ways to support those efforts below, our most important job right now is to point people to the one who can bring them everlasting peace. The one in whom they can put their trust and their hope so they can face all obstacles without fear. The one who can rescue their soul.
That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 NLT
