The Rescue...in the middle of your fire.

The rescue-in the middle of your fire.  Trials are like being trapped on the second story of burning home...smoke is thick distorting visibility and invading your lungs-taking your breath, your skin is burning from the heat, panic sets in, you're crawling to a window-hopeful to get air, but you're weak and beginning to believe you won't make it-you feel trapped and your hope is fading...then you hear a voice calling your name...it's a fireman, he says, "jump!"  You hear him but can't see him, he calls again, "jump!" You say, "I can't see you!"  He responds, "I can see you...I will catch you."
God gave me this visual to remind me that we often feel like we're alone & won't make it-burning alive in the middle of our trials.  He will send us help...He is always with us and He see us...even when we don't see Him.  He has a way out for you...don't give up.  You're His & He has summoned you by name (Isa 43:1). Don't be afraid friend...He will catch you.
