Abigail Meyers is 21 years old, has a beautiful heart and is wise beyond her years. I love how she speaks of Jesus as her "Knight in Shining Armor"! What is stopping you from being swept away by your Prince?
The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; He is their Stronghold in time of trouble. The LORD helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in Him. Psalm37:39-40
It says that the reason why He delivers them is because they take refuge in Him. Which makes me think of something God has been teaching me in this last year or so.... I have to let Him rescue me. He is a gentleman and He won't come uninvited. TRUE. But once you invite Him, once you cry to Him to rescue you--you have to choose to be rescued!!
Think of the knight in shining armor allegory that is always drawn of Jesus--You (His princess) are trapped in a high tower with no way out, and you've been hoping against hope that your handsome prince will come and save you--Jesus (your handsome prince) heroically climbs the high tower to save you-- He gets there and majesticly declares His love for you and that He wants to bring you home from the tower that has held you captive for so long-- But you hesitate..... because first of all, climbing down from that tower looks pretty dangerous compared to staying put in this nice little barred loft you have been given; and secondly, you grown quite used to living here and going back to real life means you will have to take care of all your responsibilities.....--So what will you do?? It's like a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book, what will you decide? Will you trust Him and let Him take you far, far away from what has held you captive? OR Will you tell Jesus 'Thanks for coming all this way to rescue me, I know it was alot of trouble and I appreciate the effort but on second thought, I think I'm just gonna stay put for now; I am pretty secure in this tower and trust is not really my thing. :)
Will you take refuge in His arms and allow yourself to be rescued from whatever it is that is holding you captive in the tower? Will you let Him deliver you? He can sweep you off your feet and carry you out of that tower in a heartbeat, but He waits for your word - He doesn't want to steal you - He wants to know you are coming willingly and that you trust Him to deliver you from your captor. Do you want to be rescued?
