On Monday, there I was — on the elliptical — just trying to get my steps in, when I glanced at the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And suddenly — my workout turned into worship.
A U.S. airman — alone, freezing, battered — clinging to life on a mountainside. Thirty-six hours of hiding, climbing, surviving. Every move mattered. Every breath counted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then — RESCUE! That word settled deep in my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was rescued.
Not by accident.
Not by luck.
But by courage, wisdom, and the right help at just the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I couldn\u2019t help but think — how many of us need rescuing today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe not from a mountainside — but from something just as real.
A heart that feels overwhelmed.
A diagnosis that brings fear.
A relationship unraveling.
A mind that won\u2019t quiet down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We may look fine on the outside — but inside? We\u2019re hanging on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then comes that quiet whisper: “Cry out!”
Because there is One who sees you and me — right where we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.\u201d (Psalm 18:16)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s what God does. He rescues. Not when we have it all together — but when we\u2019re barely holding on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m reminded of an old song, written and recorded by dear friends, Jimmy & Becky Pearce: \u201cHe Rescued Me.\u201d The chorus was this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He rescued me, Jesus rescued me
From the cold dark waters of sin’s troubled sea
He rescued me, new life I can see
Jesus reached down in love
And He rescued me.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus reaches into our mess, our fear, our storms — and pulls us up.
Not because we earned it.
But because He loves us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, if you feel like that airman — tired — alone — unsure how your story ends. Don\u2019t stay silent. Call out God’s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because the same God who rescues on mountainsides —
rescues hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And He\u2019s not late. Not distracted. Not distant.
He\u2019s right there.
Reaching down.
Ready to save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feeling overwhelmed? Hanging on by a thread? You\u2019re not alone. God still rescues\u2014right on time, right where you are. Reach out\u2026He\u2019s reaching down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
