KISLEV 10
Rescue
“He will rescue you
from the trap of the hunter and from the plague of calamities …” (Ps 91:3 CJB)
When
we find ourselves caught in a torrential downpour, an umbrella will only do us
good while we are standing under
it. The same is true of our relationship
with our Elohim: He can only rescue and
deliver us while we choose to remain,
to sit down, and take up permanent residency in the “secret place of the Most
High”. Once we have determined with the
divine “Post Office” where our
address is, then there is no question as to Who
our defender is.
And
make no mistake, we have a diligent hunter who continuously lays ‘traps’ for
us, trying to trip us up and lay us low.
He is very much our adversary, and while he cannot defeat us, for
“greater is He that is in us that he that is in the world”
(1John 4:4), we must be aware of who he is, and the methods he uses in these
attacks.
“The thief does not
come except to steal, and to slaughter, and to destroy. I have come that they
might possess LIFE, and that they might possess it BEYOND MEASURE.” (John 10:10 ISR, emphasis mine)
Noah
Webster, in his wonderful dictionary of 1828, defines “calamity” as “a great
misfortune, or cause of misery, such as a natural disaster”. However, this word can also mean “personal
misfortunes which bring great distress upon individuals”[1]. Let us always remember, in those times of
anguish of soul and spirit, that we have that “secret place”, and within that
“secret place” is The Comforter, the
Holy Spirit of Elohim. We have a loving
Father, waiting to wrap His arms
around us, to rescue us, and deliver us, from the troubles of life …
“The righteous is
delivered from trouble, and the wicked comes to take his place.” (Pro 11:8 CJB)
“Behold, the Lord's
hand is not shortened at all, that it cannot save, nor His ear dull with
deafness, that it cannot hear.” (Isa
59:1 AMPC)
NEVER
forget the place you call home …
