OUR FORTRESS, SHELTER AND RESCUE

Psalm 37:39-40 NLT 
The Lord rescues the godly, 
He is their fortress in times of trouble.
The Lord helps them,
Rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them,
And they find shelter in him.

What a wonderful God we have! He rescues, helps and shelters all those who go to Him through Jesus, who is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.😊 

Scripture says He rescues the godly, that’s you and me if we’ve invited Jesus to be our Lord and Saviour. We can expect to be rescued when we need it! What do you need rescuing from at the minute? Is it from a stubborn mindset or from negative thinking? Is it from sickness and disease? Is it that you need rescuing financially, or from depression? Whatever situation we’re in, we have a wonderful Saviour to call on to rescue us.

He says He is our fortress in times of trouble. We can either run to Him when trouble hits, or we can sit in a heap and feel sorry for ourselves. There is a better way! We can come to the throne of grace and run into God’s loving arms and ask Him to help us in our time of trouble and need.

Maybe you’re in the middle of a ‘wicked’ situation, where you’re being persecuted for your faith, where your kindness is being abused, where your honesty is being ridiculed? Then know that God promises to rescue you from the wicked. 

He says He shelters us but only if we go to Him for that shelter.😊 If we stay away and struggle on in our own strength then He can’t shelter us, and He won’t force us to come to Him. 

So let’s run to His shelter, His strong tower today because we belong to Him, and let’s praise our wonderful God and Saviour because He is all we need, both now and for eternity and He loves us so much. Thank You Lord. Amen.
