2 Timothy 4:18
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
I am reading Anxious For Nothing: Finding Calm in a Chaotic World, by Max Lucado. In his book, he talks about an acrobatic team. The flyer explains how the key to their success is remembering he is a flyer and his partner is the catcher. His job is just to jump and let his partner do all the catching. It is dangerous for him to try and catch his catcher when he jumps. It simply is not his job!
Max goes on to compare that to our relationship with God. We have to put our full trust in him. Let God do his job! “Your Father has never dropped anyone. He will not drop you. His grip is sturdy and his hands are open.” It is not our job to control things. we must let go and Let God! As Max puts it, a wonderful thing happens when we let go and let God, we FLY!
Paul went through some pretty horrific moments in his lifetime. If anyone deserved to have fear and trepidation in their walk with God, I am saying Paul had reasons. However, Paul never questioned any of the positions he was left in. Not when he was stoned, ran out of town, or thrown in prison several times. Instead, he went out of his way to encourage Timothy and the church by saying,
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (2 Timothey 4:18)
Wow! Can you sit back and let that sink in for just a moment? I mean really let that sink in! No matter what we are facing in our lives, God is there. No job, God is there. Cancer, God is there. Divorce, God is there. He will rescue you from every evil attack and will bring you safely to his heavenly kingdom.
What does that rescue look like? I don’t know.
How long will it take? I don’t know.
What I do know is he has promised to catch me. All I have to do is Fly!
