July 23, 2009 ~ 911!!!

Who do you call on in time of trouble, disaster or distress?

Today's Scripture:

The Lord said: "Surely it will be well with your remnant; surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you in the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.

Jeremiah 15:11

Batman is sleeping in the bat cave. Superman is stuck in a phone booth. Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Spiderman cannot even be found. The movies never seem to have a problem finding rescuers for their disasters, but where is a superhero when you need one? Imagine shouting out for help when you have a financial crisis, and the Budget Buster comes with extra funds to help beef up you bank account and save the day. Maybe Captain Crisis could fly in and solve your problems when the machinery on the manufacturing line goes down at the pickle plant. That would be an awesome way to solve your problems and that sure would boost or productivity.

You can be rescued in times of crisis. Just as Batman stopped the Riddler and the Joker, God can stop your enemies in their tracks. Maybe enemy is too strong a word to use. Your business competitors or coworkers may not be trying to disable you with kryptonite. But there are people who sometimes present obstacles - either deliberately or unintentionally - in your path to success. When you have to work alongside those people for a period of time, it may feel as if you are fighting an enemy.

When you find yourself dealing with a disaster, do not distress. Never fear, help is near. You have a direct 911 line to God, not limited by cellular service or landlines. He can rescue you from your crisis even faster than a speeding bullet.

You do not need a superhero when you have God.

Selah people' and friends determine the biggest trial in your life right now. Call out for help. Then, list the ways you see God rescuing you from the trial.

"May we all shout to the one who can help regardless of our adversity or affliction...Jesus!"
