October 23 - God, our rescuer

My eyes are ever toward the Lord,
For He shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Psalm 25:15 (NKJV)

Thought for Today: One night, my youngest daughter, who was about one at the time, was crying quite a bit in her crib.  When I went to check what was wrong, I quickly noticed that her leg was caught underneath a railing in the crib.  The look on her face was one of fear and of trust; fear of what was happening and the pain, utter trust in me that I would be able to free her.  Yet, until I could calm her and stop her from trying to free herself, I could not free her leg.

In the same way, we often are fearfully thrashing about trying to solve our own problems, seeking relief from our pain, perhaps trying to reverse mistakes that we have made. If we can just stop thrashing and look toward the Lord, He will indeed deliver.  What do you need deliverance from today?  Look to Him today and always, for our God is our provider and deliverer.
