God's Plan is to Rescue Us from Sin

Sorry this is so late....but a reminder that it won't just be the youth tonight....we have the North Point After Dark service. Be there by 6:30...but you can still come hang out beforehand :)

It's really crazy all of things God has been showing me lately. It's almost overwhelming to try to keep all of it straight in my head. So now I get to see which one God wants me to share with you in this blog...and the winner is...God's plan is to rescue us from sin.

Read Psalm 91.

When we hear of great stories of God coming to the rescue it seems as if He always gives us just what people want - the end of the story is happy for everyone - man, women, child and dog. I believe that is true at times - a happily ever after ending - but it also needs to be understood that sometimes rescue looks different than we think it will look. God has the ability to rescue us with miracles or just as our heart desires, but that's not his ultimate goal. His goal is help us grow spiritually - however that may look. We may grow in faith through waiting. We may grow in humbleness through failing a class or losing a job. I think God is not focused on the outcomes or the results, but is focused on what we learn during the journey...and that learning who He is...how much He loves us....and that we can trust in Him IS the rescue. Knowing who God is and how much He loves you will pull you away from sin.

v. 14a "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him."
