Thankful Thursday ~ Rescue

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! ~ (ESV ~ emphasis mine)

Our Lord is still in the ‘business’ of rescuing. I am so thankful that He had mercy on my soul, sent His son to make a way. You know, the Psalms are my favorite part of the Old Testament. Although the OT is full of encouragement from God’s heroes, the Psalms help me through the days that seem really bleak.

I guess our new ‘puppy’ Corky is just as thankful for being rescued from the pound. Have you ever been at your local pound to look at dogs? It is the hardest thing to do — especially looking into all the puppy eyes. You can just see how they all want to leave — get out — get rescued.

Although we were not able to rescue all the dogs on Sunday afternoon, we gave one doggy another chance to have a happy life. I have to say: I am glad that God takes them all — I mean sinners. It does not matter where we come from, where we have been. Just one look at the cross, reaching out in need — He is there…Oh, Lord, how thankful I am for Your great love for us…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving your link below. Remember, next week (and the entire month of September) we will meet at Laurie’s place “Women Taking A Stand“.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: No matter where you have been, He will rescue you 😛 .
