God’s Rescue Kit!
"I know that through your prayers and God’s provision
of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me
will turn out for my deliverance."
Philippians 1: 19
Lifeguards at America’s beaches and lakes are getting a new
lifesavingtool. Remote-controlled drones are set to monitor
the
waters and ready to drop a rescue kit to swimmers in trouble.
When the kit hits water, it will instantly inflate into a
flotation
tube, a bright yellow horseshoe with grab
handles.
God has two tools in His rescue kit for us, the prayers
of God’s people for each other and the Spirit of Christ.
Paul wrote Philippians while in Roman confinement.
He told the Philippians he was certain of deliverance.
He knew it would come as his friends prayed and as
God sent special provisions to his heart by the
Spirit.
If you’re in over your head today, ask someone
to pray for you even as you keep the names of
others on your own prayer list.
Ask God to send you the strength you need by
means of the Spirit. He will buoy you in
today’s
culture and give you courage for all that comes.
"The Greek word translated provision in Philippians 1:19
means “bountiful supply” or “full resources.” Paul understood
the could rely on the complete resources of the Holy Spirit."
John MacArthur
