We Need to be Rescued from Ourselves

1/28/2016

Grateful for grace. Total, lasting, pursuing grace.

"You and I don't so much need to be rescued from difficult people, tempting locations and stressful situations. No, we need to be rescued from ourselves. We can alter our circumstances, but we have no ability to purge ourselves from the destructive patterns of sin and selfishness that are in our hearts." -Paul Tripp

My soul is desperate for the things of Jesus.

For much of my life I have wrestled with the idea that my value was somehow determined by the busyness of my schedule. The more I was needed, the more important I was. This thinking has even translated into ministry. The more church responsibilities I have, the greater my relationship with the Lord. I would never say this was true, but I've certainly lived as if it was. Tonight I quietly watched the moon rise over the trees and was struck with my own pace of life. These past few days have provided a rest I didn't even know I needed. Because busyness (even ministry busyness) doesn't equal godliness.

And my soul is desperate for the things of Jesus. It's His kindness that leads us to repentance. And I'm so grateful.

Mark 10:46-52 New International Version (NIV)
Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight
Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”
So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.
The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”
“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Say Often, "Lord Have Mercy".

Say Often, "Lord Have Mercy". When we feel attached on all sides by seemingly irresistible forces, waves that cover you and sweep you off your feet. The waves make you feel powerless like a child abandoned by your parents. What are you to do?? Make the conscious choice to move the attention of your anxious heart away from these waves and direct it to the One who walks on them and says, "It's me. Don't be afraid" (Matthew 14:27)
