From the desk of Steve Shultz:
God always has a plan – and a rescue one at that. He IS the Rescuer after all. My dear and humorous friend Kathie Walters has a way of sharing stories and testimonies to bring out the goodness of God. You'll enjoy her article here.

Jesus Is Your Rescuer
One of the definitions of Savior is Rescuer. Jesus is Wonderful, Savior, Redeemer, Healer, Deliverer – and, of course, much more.
But, did you think of this? He is your Rescuer and He saves you from your troubles. Are you in a hole or in a place where there seems no way out? Let me tell you about the Rescuer.
In Psalm 107 it says this (talking about a storm):
"They cried out to the Lord, and He saved them from their troubles. He stilled the storm and calmed the waves. They were happy that it was quiet and God guided them to the port they wanted."
I don't know if you are in some kind of storm – but He is able to calm the storm. He spoke to the storm and said, "Be still" and it was.
If you are in a place where there seems no way out – listen:
"Lord, I will praise You among the nations; I will sing songs of praise about You to all the nations. Your great love reaches to the skies, Your truth to the heavens. God, you are supreme above the skies. Let Your glory be over all the earth. Answer us and save us by Your power SO THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE WILL BE RESCUED" (Psalm 108:3-6).
Yes, He is the rescuer. The key is that you listen and let Him show you the way – because there is a way.
Sit Still and See
One time, years ago, we were in a fix (I can't remember what it was all about now) and we didn't know how to go forward or how to go back – we were trying different doors, but nothing seemed to be working.
I had a dream, and in the dream I was sitting on the floor in the middle of the room. It seemed like an empty room without furniture. It was black, and I didn't know where the door was. I couldn't see any exit because it was so dark. I knew I could have felt my way all around the walls until I somehow found a door handle, but I felt the Lord say, "Sit still and see." I sat in the room on the floor and just waited, and suddenly a light shone on the door. I got up and walked to the door and opened it and went out.
He was the One who rescued us – He shone the light on which way to go and what to do. You can do trial and error, but that's not God's best way – there is a way if you wait (in faith) on Him.
The Rescuer
He will rescue you. He can speak to the troubled waters and tell them "Peace." But the peace is first in you – like the situation in the jail where Paul and Silas were imprisoned. The Christians prayed for their release and God did release – an earthquake. The jail was rocking and rolling, and the earth was shaking. But in the middle of all the shaking Paul and Silas weren't shaken. That's because they were in the Shaker (God).You can't be shaken if you are in the Shaker, can you? In fact, they led the jailer to the Lord in the middle of an earthquake. They didn't run and panic like everyone else, they stood still and ministered. A shaking just shows where you really are.
I often think of the miners in Chile. They were stuck a mile below the surface of the earth. There was NO WAY THEY COULD GET THEMSELVES OUT. They were totally dependent on others. Two prayer meetings a day – and the GOD of Heaven and earth rescued them. There is no way that anyone could say it was not miraculous. But Jesus, the Lord of Life, was able to keep them and RESCUE them from their trouble.
You know, when Jesus was laid in the tomb He was totally dependent upon the Holy Spirit to raise Him from the dead. I don't know if you have ever thought about that. That's why He is able to rescue you, if you sit still and let His peace be in you in the middle of the storm.
...the people You love will be rescued. Psalm 108:6
He is the One who can deliver you, show you the "exit," rescue you – if you (as God said to the Moses) "stand still and see the salvation of God."
Be blessed, my friends,
