"This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." -I Timothy 2:3-4 (NIV)
A shelter dog recently joined our family. The operator of the rescue organization said the dog was found malnourished and abandoned under a porch. She said our family saved the dog. Thinking about our new, gentle family member made me think of our lives and our need for a Savior.
When the devil and sin take hold in our lives, we can find ourselves abandoned and malnourished. Things may seem good at first, but the sin slowly erodes our lives. God doesn't want us to be abandoned and malnourished. He is ready to "adopt" and rescue each of us. He wants all of us to be saved. He wants us to know the truth and a loving family. God can and wants to rescue us from sin and provide for all of our needs, all we need to do is accept the redeeming sacrifice of His Son, our Savior!
Allow God to rescue and nourish you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for rescuing me from my sin. Help me to show Your love to others so all people can be saved. Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
