Pin Job
Read Psalm 18:1-6
Encouragement for the day тАУ тАЬIn my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.тАЭ
Psalm 18:6 ESV
The fire service will always have accidents. As long as people are driving automobiles, we will continue to respond to incidents involving trapped or pinned individuals. There are people in life who constantly make poor decisions when driving and eventually those decisions will catch up with them and they will wreck. Whether it is because they choose to speed, drink and drive, or try and beat a train, eventually they will find themselves needing help from the fire service. The newer cars seem to pin folks in the vehicle easier. A friend of mine said his department that has several interstates in his district is going to far more pin jobs than years ago. Fortunately, there are a lot of new tools on the market to assist departments with extricating the victims and transporting them to the hospital.
Where can firefighters and first responders go when they feel trapped? Perhaps you feel pinned in a situation right now. Often in life, our decisions lead to situations where we become alienated from God. Perhaps your marriage is struggling. Maybe you have done things to hurt your spouse, and you are in turmoil within your family. Or maybe because of things you have witnessed on the job you are in too deep with alcohol or drugs. Whatever you are going through right now you can feel trapped or pinned in a situation and cannot get out. The Psalmist would encourage you to run to God. When we cry out to Him for help, we can be assured that He hears us. Immerse yourself in the Bible, pray for help, and surround yourself with Godly folks who will give you good advice. Do not let the world and all its pleasures swallow you up. Allow God to rescue you from the situation you are in and remember to give Him all the glory.
Lord, thank you for being powerful enough to recue me from all the troubles I get myself into.
Encouragement goes a long way when you share it with others!!
