Topic: Rescue For The Righteous
Text: Psalm 40:1-4
1(To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
3And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
4Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Key Verse: “He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings” (Psalm 40:2).
Message
On June 23, 2018, a Thai soccer team of 12 boys had just finishing their weekly soccer practice and decided to go on a little adventure with their coach. The boys planned to head into a cave and write their names on the wall. Unfortunately for the boys and their coach, heavy rains started falling after they entered the cave and flood water rose high enough to block the entrance and trap them inside. It took the combined efforts of an international team of cave experts, military personnel, and volunteers (10,000 people in all) and 18 days of relentless search and rescue operations, to bring the boys and their coach back to safety. Today is International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.

God has promised his protection and preservation for the righteous. And should he fall into mischief and into the trap of the adversary, the Lord is ready to deploy all the resources of heaven and earth for his rescue. He will leave no stone unturned to bring the righteous back to safety. Hold to God’s powerful hands. There is nothing to worry about.
Quote: Hold on to God’s powerful hands
Challenge: God is ever ready to preserve the righteous.
Prayer for today: Lord, deliver people faced with disaster worldwide, in Jesus name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
