THEN I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD. I WILL BE GLAD BECAUSE HE RESCUES ME. — PSALM 35:9
Ever since she was a little girl, Alex had dreamed of someday playing the part of a damsel in distress who is heroically rescued by a white knight.
Reality soon set in.
"How long am I supposed to wait for him?" she lamented to a friend over lattes. "My white knight apparently has a problem with punctuality."
We're all watching for someone to rescue us. Maybe you're waiting for a soulmate to fill a void in your heart. Or perhaps you're waiting for a friend to come through in your time of need. It could be that you're waiting for a a prospective employer to call back with a job offer. We wait and wait for a rescuer to come.
The truth is, God doesn't want you to exist in a perpetual state of waiting. Live your life—your whole life—by seeking daily joy in the Savior of your soul, Jesus Christ. And here's the best news of all: He's already done the rescuing by dying on the cross for our sins! He's the true white knight who secured your eternity in heaven.
Stop waiting; seek His face today!
LET'S PRAY:
Jesus, I praise You because You are the rescuer of my soul. Remind me of this fact when I'm looking for relief in other people and places. You take care of my present and eternal needs, and for that I am grateful. Amen.
