The Lord Rescues

Do you ever wake up and feel overwhelmed by everything going on in the world? It doesn’t take more than a couple of minutes watching the news to realize just how broken our world is.

The world has always been a chaotic place. King Hezekiah spoke the words in today’s scripture after hearing dire news of an attack planned on Jerusalem by one of the most powerful armies of his day. His prayer expressed the burden he felt for his country and for his people. But, more importantly, he expressed hope and trust that God would save them. In the midst of destructive threats on the people of Israel and on Hezekiah’s life, this king knew that the Lord was the only One who could save them.

The same is true today. No matter how burdened and hopeless you feel, the same God who rescued Hezekiah is your God. He is always there, always ready to listen and to be a source of hope. Lean into Him today, knowing that He has already rescued us from the darkness of this world. Declare His rescuing power to the people in need of hope around you!
