The Cavalry is Coming with those Knights in Shining Armor

A wise man once said "It's dangerous to put those knights up on white horses. They're likely to slip off." Now, being a woman, I can personally say there have been men that I have put up on white horses. The only man who hasn't fallen off is my daddy (shameless shout out because I'm a daddy's girl). But in all honesty, girls are NOTORIOUS for doing this. I genuinely feel bad for those poor men who don't even know how to RIDE the non existent horse that they're supposed to be on. But needless to say, it's what we do. Well as mentioned before, it's extremely dangerous putting those knights up on horses. But I learned something recently that truly blew my mind. The simple fact is, God loves to rescue us. We tend to get ourselves into some sticky situations. We tend to wander or we tend to get swept away by the wrong things. And God Almighty comes to save us Himself. Ezekiel 34:11-12 says, "...and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered." Now imagine all the ways you've ever thought about being rescued. It doesn't matter if you're a male or a female. Because, yes men, sometimes you need as much saving as the women do. Think about the scenes in the movies where the armies come rushing in to liberate the captives. Think about Normandy and how the brave men stormed that beach to liberate captives. Now imagine the God of the universe storming the beaches of your battle; coming to save you, coming to set you (the captive) free. God came to set the captives free plain and simple. That was His plan from the beginning. He thought, "Just wait until you guys see the way I'm going to save you." Now, think with me for a second. How excited was the damsel in distress when the brave knight came and found her? How excited were the nations when we helped liberate them from the hold of the enemy? How happy are we, daily, when we realize that God has won the battle for our hearts. Do we even realize what God has done for us? Do we realize what the cost was? Now I'm not preaching to you the message of "Look what you did to Jesus Christ!" If you don't know that, then learn about it. Our sin did a terrible thing to the most perfect Man alive; our true knight in shining armor. But my point is, the Father--and the SON for that matter--couldn't WAIT to set us free. That was the glorious plan from the beginning. Isaiah 53:10 says, "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief." It pleased Him to know that we were the end result. Are we living like we were worth it? Are we living in the victory that has been won? I challenge and encourage you to walk in that daily. So instead of looking for a knight in shining armor (women) and expecting the cavalry to come (men) take a moment in your trials and tribulations and even your battles to realize that the One who already WON was pleased to come and get you and He will be pleased to do it time and time again.
