God to the Rescue (Count: Psalm 146)
Psalm 146 says a lot about God's character. While the other Psalms I've read this week seem to focus on his greatness, his power, and how He is worthy of praise... this one spotlights a God who will rescue.
"Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save."
Men - even the most valiant of men - and women - will let you down. Is my hope completely in God? Is it first and foremost in God?
If you read through this Psalm, you have to realize that all the "frustrations" of life are not beyond God's care.
Physical pain?
Loneliness?
Depression?
Widowed?
Rejected?
Doesn't matter. God loves you, and He wants to rescue you out of whatever situation you're in. He really does offer a better way.
Again, here's a Psalm that focuses a little bit on Israel - and that all the generations of Zion should praise this "God of Jacob."
Man's plans - and lives - will ultimately come to an end. God is officially here, and ready to respond to the needs of his people. Are you one of them?
