Rescue

Each year at the start of my school year, I ask God for a word. One word that will lead me through the year and give me a particular direction to watch for God at work. This year my word is rescue. I read the book of Amos, it's short, and found God rescuing the oppressed and providing justice. I don't know yet what the word rescue entails. I hope to be on both ends of this one, being rescued and rescuing others, experiencing God working in me and through me. It will be an interesting focus, I believe, because it is an action word that requires more than just my faith. (My last two words were persevere and trust.) I'm excited to see how this new focus will transform my heart through God's movement. I'm meeting Him where He is!
