Brought Out

Psalm 107 cont’d:
He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron.

Do you know what “utter” darkness is?  What about gates of bronze, and bars of iron?  Doesn’t that sound like a dungeon of the lowest, deepest level – with no way out?

There is NO place too dark, too far, too binding, too remote, or too difficult to reach for God.

Notice the verbs used in these verses:

He brought them out
He broke away
He breaks down gates
He cuts through

Sounds like some sort of super hero, right?  I think super hero movies are so popular because we all, even from the time we are little children, love a good story of an impossible rescue made possible by a man in a cape who can fly through the air and save the ones in distress and bring them to a safe landing.

God can do all of that and more, if we just ask him to come and rescue us where we are, and we look for him to appear in all of his might, glory, and power.

Thank you, Lord, for your amazing rescues from the worst of the worst of places – you always find us!
