Never underestimate the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. Those same tender mercies can fortify and protect us in these troubled times in which we live. When we cannot find comfort He provides the solace, which we so desperately need. When we try to show the joy we feel, and the words don’t come to explain the unexplainable and the tragedies in life, He is there. When we are alone in the world and the pain seems without end, He shines his light on us so brightly that we can find our way through the darkness threatening to overwhelm us.
Like the Fire-fighter carrying a small child out of a flame-engulfed building, the tender mercies of the Lord carry us in mighty arms. He delivers us from our fear, our loneliness, our pain and our sins.
Deliverance from the fire that threatens to consume us is the greatest gift of all. The Lord fortifies and delivers us if we take time out of our busy lives and give our lives over to Him who holds the power to deliver us from the buffetings of the adversary. He is the light and we can choose to follow Him from the darkness, safely into the light of his love. The joy is in the surrender of that moment of dedication.
He is my ‘Fire-fighter’ and I am the child whose tears of gratitude course down a hot cheek as I’m carried to safety in the middle of the darkest night of my life. His tender mercies are there for all of us. All we have to do is ask.
