Psalm 116:6

If You’re Drowning In….

08/04/2023

Have you ever thought of God as being a Life Preserver? Psalm 116:6 describes Him that way. “The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.”  The word “preserve” in this verse means to save a life.  No doubt Jesus fits the description. He rescues those who are drowning in sin when they call on Him for salvation.  We understand the need for someone to save us from raging waters.  Do we understand the need for Jesus to save us from raging sin? We understand the need to be saved from physical death. Do we understand the need to be saved from spiritual death?

Jesus, You are the only One who can rescue us from sin and preserve our soul for eternity. We call to You.

Praise to God Our PRESERVER

09/02/2017

Friends, the attributes and names of God that you receive every morning were scheduled before Hurricane Harvey. As I have reviewed them prior to them going out, I’ve been shocked by the images and attributes that were pre-selected. We can’t help but recognize that God’s nature speaks of more than the temporal. God is eternal, and His nature reflects His eternal perspective and promises.

“The LORD preserves the simple;
I was brought low, and He saved me.,”

Psalm 116:6

Have you ever thought of God in terms of being your Life PRESERVER? The Hebrew word, “preserve,” means keep, guard, protect, saves life. A PRESERVER is “someone who keeps safe from harm or danger.”** No doubt, our Lord fits the description. Satan has a domain of darkness. (Colossians 1:13) God has a domain of light where Jesus reigns in love. God rescues every single person who calls out to Him. He transfers the repentant to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:13-14)

We understand the need for someone to come and save us from raging waters.  Do we understand the need for Jesus to come and save us from raging sin? God sent Jesus to earth to save us from drowning and dying in sin as assuredly as rescuers were sent to save those dying in flooding waters.

We understand the need for being saved from physical death. Do we understand the need for being saved from spiritual death? Who do we know who needs to be saved?  Will we go to them and tell them about Jesus? 

Lord, we praise You, the Only One to whom we can look to PRESERVE our life, our soul!
