He Sends from Heaven and Saves Me

"I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me. He sends from heaven and saves me." Psalm 57:2, 3

There are times in our lives when we are filled with despair, when all we can do is cry out to the Lord to save us. When we find ourselves in those situations, what is God's response? "He sends from heaven and saves me!" What a thought that is! We, who are but dust, are cared for by the God of the Universe! He will do whatever it takes to save us from despair. We can be assured of that! After all, did He not send His Son, His only Son, all the way from heaven to earth to save us all? Our Father has a plan, a purpose for our lives, and to that end He will see us through whatever experiences we must face. At times, we think that the trouble will consume us, but it is not so. Our Father in heaven has planned that it will but burn away the dross in our lives, that we might come forth as shining gold. He will save us though it be with fire; for He has big plans for His children and we can rest in that assurance!

Father, thank You for the plan that You have for my life. Help me to see Your hand in all of life’s affairs and help me to learn from those experiences, that I might see You working out Your plan for my life. Keep my focus on You and what You have purposed for my life that I might never lose sight of Your love and Your determination to see the work You have begun in me completed. Amen
