When I was young I would hear men say “I’m waiting for my ship to come in,” usually with a beer in hand. Today gambling is state-run and people have a dollar and a dream. The connection is the same as always, hope for something to come and significantly change one's circumstances. Usually the ship never docked, the dollar went to the state and the dream to some smiling fellow (who usually went bankrupt soon after).
This hope is in all of us. It is the desire to be rescued, usually from whatever doesn’t seem to be working for us. We need to be rescued from our own selves. Eventually, nothing satisfies (if we get the chance to experience what we thought would). Then where does a person go?
Don’t wait too long before you recognize your desire for rescue. It is the most real thing that you can understand. God (YHWH) sent Jesus to do just that, rescue all of us. If you feel like you’re drowning in fear or sorrow, get a hold of the Life Preserver thrown your way. Let Him save you. Take hold of Him and don’t let go. He is strong and able to save. You already know you need saving and there’s no one better than the Savior (Jesus) to do just that.
What do you have to lose?
