RESCUER

PSALM 56:13 (MSG)
You pulled me from the brink of death,
my feet from the cliff-edge of doom.
Now I stroll at leisure with God
in the sunlit fields of life.

ACTS 12:7 (MSG)
Suddenly there was an angel at his side and light flooding the room. The angel shook Peter and got him up: “Hurry!” The handcuffs fell off his wrists.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
We look to God as our rescuer.

PRAYER
Thank you, Lord, that again today you pour your wonderous light into me through the promises in your word. May your word saturate me deeply with your peace. Release me from my chains of personal preferences, people pleasing, or perfection. May the light in your word be my only guide for my passions, my perspectives, and my prayers. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
