Rescue Story - a 3-Day Devotional in Partnership With Ted Barrett and Zach Williams

DAY 3 OF 3

Rescue Story - Day 3

You were the voice in the desert 

Calling me out in the dead of night 

Fighting my battles for me 

You are my rescue story

Each and every one of us are cut from the same mud.  Left on our own we are doomed to damnation. We were all empty-handed, crying out in our pits of despair.  Along comes Jesus, from the shadows He holds out His mighty hand and meets us where we are.  Jesus is the voice in the desert, calling us out in the dead of night. He is fighting our battles for us.  He lifted us out of the ashes and carried our souls from death to life, bringing us from Glory to Glory.  

Don't ever be apprehensive to share your rescue story; it is unique to you. Your greatest testimony is how you live your life and walk in the freedom that Jesus has given you. 

Have you ever wondered where you would be had Jesus not rescued you?  What would your life look like?  Take time to reflect and thank God for giving you abundant life.

I also challenge you to reflect on the faithfulness of God.  The times when we rebel and try to run away, He is right there, waiting for us to return, looking down the road.  When He sees us coming, He runs to us, takes away our shame, places a ring on our finger and wraps us in a robe.  He prepares the fatted calf and celebrates our return.

Take time to thank Jesus that He is always faithful.

About this Plan

Rescue Story - a 3-Day Devotional in Partnership With Ted Barrett and Zach Williams

Zach Williams’ song, “Rescue Story” is about how Jesus lifts us up from the ashes. Every time we run away from Him, He is louder than our shame. Jesus is patient with us - He’s been preparing us for our rescue since before birth. Join me in this reading plan to reflect on our rescue stories, inspired by Zach Williams’ music. –Ted Barrett, Minister and Umpire for Major League Baseball
