The sun filters through my blinds as it sinks down on this crystal clear fall day. It is a day of peaceful reflection. A day of praise that God sustains us in the most difficult of circumstances.
Last night the last of the 33 Chilean miners was brought to the surface, alive and healthy looking, considering the ordeal that they have faced for the last 69 days. They said that they faced the devil and they faced God, and God won. God was so good to provide minds from all over the world that could work together to find a solution that would bring every single miner to the surface.
God has given these men a second chance, just like He gives us a second chance. We are all born sinners and live our selfish lives, which begin from birth, to decay to sin. God sent His son to be nailed to a cross and bear all our sins. God turned His back, as Jesus hung on the cross, and allowed Satin to take Jesus through every sin that we had or ever could commit, just so we could be saved from those sins. When we reach out to God, just like those miners, He assures us that He has provided a way to be raised out of the depths of sin, that we are buried in. All we have to do is say yes to His invitation of accepting Jesus as our personal Savior, and we are instantly raised out of the deep pit.
What keeps you from reaching up and taking God's hand and letting Him raise you up out of the deep mine in your life?
