We Worship a Saving God

March 22

(Psalms 33:16-17,20 NIV) “No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. {17} A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save… {20} We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.”

(Isaiah 25:9 NIV) ““In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.””

Only God can save us. We will realize this as our government crumbles and falls short on its grandiose promises to care for our every need. As our power diminishes and our Armed Forces wane, we will have to confess that no nation is saved by the size of its army. As our strength weakens, we will be forced to trust in God, because in the end, only God can save us. We will cry out to the God we have been systematically deleting from our lives. The God we have been crowding out of our schedules is the only God who will have time for us. After we squander our lives on things that are not of God, He is the One we turn to. After we have invested our time, energy, and money into things that will not last, only the Lord offers us eternity. After we discover that we really can’t save ourselves, we turn to the only One who can. This is a God who deserves our worship. Why wait? -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
