God has been taking me to the book of Daniel often lately. Today when I opened my Bible, and again it landed in Daniel, I actually asked God, "Why Daniel again?" And then I read it, it was the story of Daniel in the lions' den. My word for this year is "rescue". What a fitting story and the perfect answer from God. I'm being sent to stories in Daniel because they are all about being rescued. God comes at the time when all seems lost and rescues His beloved. In this story, as Daniel is put in the lions' den. Another of my favorites is the fiery furnace, when there is a fourth "person" walking around with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo. They are rescued by God. I am not a person to ask for help. I like to do things on my own, and I am very capable of doing so. God is teaching me to ask for help, to open myself up to the idea of being rescued. I've been put in multiple situations this year where I have needed God to rescue me. I have not been able to do anything about my own situation and have had to let God do what God does best, rescue and redeem. I'm reminded again today to let God rescue me.
Here are a couple of other posts from my blog about my word, rescue. Interesting to see God at work!
