The Rescue Business
There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10
Living in Colorado, I climb mountains. On summer weekends, I see casual hikers who have no idea what they are doing. In sandals, shorts, and T-shirts, carrying a single container of water, they start up a trail at mid-morning. They have no map, no compass, and no rain gear.
My neighbor, who volunteers for Alpine Rescue, has told me stories of tourists rescued from certain death after wandering off a trail. Regardless of the circumstances, Alpine Rescue always responds to a call for help. Not once have they lectured a hapless tourist, Well, since you ignored the rules of the wilderness, youll just have to bear the consequences. Their mission is rescue. They pursue every needy hiker, no matter how undeserving.
The central message of the Bible is one of rescue. Paul points out that none of us deserve Gods mercy and none of us can save ourselves. Like a stranded hiker, all we can do is call for help. Quoting the psalmist, he says, There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God (Rom. 3:10-11; Ps. 14:1-3).
The good news of the gospel is that in spite of our state, God seeks after us and responds to every plea for help. You might say that God is in the rescue business.
Thinking It Over
What keeps you from calling out to God for spiritual rescue? Your pride? Do you fear that you are too bad for Gods grace? What does Romans 3:23-26 say?
The heart of repentance is turning from sin and toward God.

The dogs are so beautiful. Both my dogs had faces like the one on the right, but you have the coloring just about perfect! The one on the right looks so much like Cagney, makes me wish she was here. The color on the left dog is about the color of Dolly but the small face on this one posted has a tiny face, like a toy. They are all cute though.
I’ve seen the sweet pictures of your and Pam’s dogs and they are darling. One is so tiny and the other is larger but both cute as pie! Thanks for the picture of the Sheltie’s. How do you pronounce d’Ogee? LOL~~`

I won’t be on much today as I have some places I must go and also try to do a few things outside, if I feel like it when I get back from the running. Usually I don’t feel like it. LOL!

I won’t be on too much, either. I’m leaving right now to take Tiapam to the eye surgeon. I will come back home, and then pick her up in about four hours or so.
I’ll let everyone know how it goes.
