He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. Micah 7:8NIV
He reached down… and took hold of me. My rescuer, when life’s storms rage around me and when I royally mess things up.
He drew me out of deep waters… He does something I could never do. Pulls me like a lifeguard from the water.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. Psalms 40:2 NIV
The Bible is literally filled from cover to cover with the power of God over our messes, our storms, our problems. So why do we believe our problems are so much bigger? He’s never left me drowning under life’s waves or sinking into the muddy places in my life. No, He comes, to save me every time- even when I can’t see a way.
He brings hope to hopeless situations. He brings refuge to stormy places. He brings peace to my frayed places. And He brings Himself to me when I fall bruised and tired, wind-tossed and wave-battered. He draws me close and whispers His promises to my heart, even in my darkest places. He stands beside me. He races like a loving parent to pluck me from the ground and strengthen me. He urges me forward, guiding me one step at a time don’t look at the waves look at me… He restores my soul when I am too tired to go on.
