Having read this phrase now 3 times very recently I decided to look it up.  I didn’t leave in the 3 times it occurs outside the psalms.

 

Here’s the thing: praise Jesus that God invites us to ask Him to act.  God knows that there is much we cannot do with out Him (is there anything we can do with out Him???).  In most of the cases above, the arising has to do with asking for individual help.  God is not above rescuing His children.  So, let us call out on Him and call for Him to arise!

 

Praise You Father that You will rescue Your children.

Praise You Son that You rescued us already.

Praise You Spirit that You rescue us daily!

 

Trusting in God’s rescue with you,

Pastor Greg
