He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters. Psalm 18:16

This is my salvation testimony in one verse.  I was busy going about my way to destruction and He reached down and rescued me. It wasn’t good works that I did to find deliverance.  It wasn’t that I was more spiritual or more worthy in some way.  God chose me and He saved me!

He has drawn me out of many waters — many dangerous habits and situations.  I am prone to hold grudges — yet His forgiveness for my sin drew me out of that. How can I hold anything against another person when He has forgiven me so much?  I always want to be in the spotlight — but He has said, the one who will be great should be the servant of all.  I could go on and on — and I have lots of other waves that  slap me in the face and tend to draw me under.

Learning to be temperate is one of those deep waters.  He who sent from above and took me, who delivered me from so many things that had a hold on me — can surely deliver me from these waters, too!

How about you?  Are you struggling in the cold ocean of addictions to food and habits of overindulgence?  He who made you, who knows your weaknesses, can rescue you.  Turn to Him and call out for aid.
