They come with extra sunscreen, extra water, the safety pin, and the Tylenol. They have dental floss and rubber bands, too. They are always prepared. You know who they are. They are the ones who "save the day."
"Let's Make a Deal" was a game show that used to see what women had in their purses as part of the game. It was a fun part of the show and reminded us of the crazy things that end up in a woman's purse because someone said, "Hold this." On occasion, those items come in handy. Other times, they get lost in the crooks and hidden pockets. Sometimes, they save the day.
This verse reminds me of the One who really did save the day. Isaiah, Psalm, and other prophecies fulfilled beyond what would seem mathematically possible. Two thousand years later, the name of Jesus is still echoing into a world that is broken, lost, and very dark. It would have been easier to walk away when you have the ability to start again. Yet, the idea of a relationship chosen... not forced but by free will... it was different. His gift became our choice.
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." -John 3:17
It is the choice that saves the day; it saves eternity.
Today, I am grateful for those who save the day.
