Making the Rescue

When courage wanes and enthusiasm is at an all time low, things are bound to fall apart because There is an innate zeal required for effective functioning. You remember the excitement you had when got your employment letter, the remenuration seemed out of this world and your world centred around your work. You were determined to give your very best and prove to your employers what an asset you are! We all still remember what it is like to be in love...the butterflies in your stomach, how every simple sentence uttered by your lover makes you feel good, she was beautiful, funny, kind, maybe daring. There was so much strength and great qualities you adored in her. Every woman melts and can hardly function intelligently because love has swept her off her feet. His build, intelligence, patience, wit, in-charge attitude all added up to make you fall hopelessly in love with him.... They were the cutest things anyone would desire, your children. You were convinced without any doubt they are a blessing from God, sure they are. However, the path they have chosen makes your heart sore! You wonder if there is any hope because they have strayed totally from the teachings and the way of The Lord and they cause you shame by their way of life. Perhaps it is the sickness that has plagued the body or mind of one of them that tempts you to question the love of God... When everything that is meant to be a blessing starts to weigh your mind down that is not the time to employ worldly wisdom. If you belong to God the solution to your challenges can only be found in Him even if you do not belong to Him, it is time to forgo beliefs that do not hold solutions and seek refuge from the Eternal God.   This is more than attending church services but it is more of entering into a deeper relationship and partnership with God. Searching His word for treasures applicable to your particular situation. When you choose to lock out the noises, threats, discouragements, disappointments and listen out for his voice alone, then you are able to obtain clear instruction and direction fom Him. A valiant king went to battle, on his return his city had been raided and burnt! Upset could not describe his feeling...he reacted, expressed his emotions but still knew who to focus on.  It can not all be about shedding tears, feeling sorry and describing the situation to everyone who comes around....It is about going to the solution provider and acting, getting up to make the rescue!   1Samuel 30:1- 8 NKJV   "Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire, 2 and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way. 3 So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. 4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep. 5 And David’s two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive. 6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. 7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David. 8 So David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.” David was able to recover his courage, joy, possession, his loved ones in captivity and enthusiasm about life because he sought the face of the Lord. Would you seek help from the help of the helpless? Blessings.
