God the helper

The Lord says: And in the same way that earlier I relentlessly pulled up and tore down, took apart and demolished, so now I am sticking with them as they start over, building and planting. ~ Jeremiah 31:28 (MSG)

For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:9 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:

God wants to help -- not hurt us.

PRAYER:

Lord, when I see all the things going wrong it is tempting to believe that you are out to get us. I confess my faulty understanding of you and what how you do things. Help me to release all my fears and to embrace a deeper understanding of salvation. I'm going to see you as a loving helper rather than an angry police officer. Amen.
