Rescue those being taken off to death, and save those stumbling toward slaughter.
If you say,
"But we didn't know about this", won't he who weighs hearts consider it?
Won't he who protects your life know?
Won't he repay a person according to his work?
Proverbs 24:11-12 CSB
This proverb includes 3 questions; and those questions are insights into who God is:
He weighs hearts (OK not literally, He is interested in our motives. And He knows me)
He protects your life (even when we don't feel protected, in the long run, the Big Story, my life is safe with Him. My life is valuable to Him)
He will repay. Justice is who God is (and Jesus who stepped in and paid the price for me. Some days I get this, and yet often miss the enormity of it. That God, while we were still enemies, became the way by entering death for us. For me.)
And the bit before the questions...He is a rescuer.
Which prompts my question: why?
Why is God even remotely interested in rescuing anyone?
Rescuing me?
Because underneath it all is Love.
Love that is for us.
Love that made a way.
