RESCUED

I once almost drowned as a young child. On what would surely have been my last plunge beneath the surface my brother grabbed me and pulled me to ground I could stand on. It was not an easy rescue. Out of intense panic I struggled against my rescuer. I sometimes still do. Our own foolishness is most often the source of our disasters, yet at the moment of salvation we make our rescue even more of an ordeal than it should be. O Lord My Rescuer, I know you hear my cry long before I feel Your hand. Help me to not question Your timing or ways. Deliver me from foolhardy behaviors.
