Operation Rescue

We're back in Genesis again, and there is a passage in the 14th chapter that really got my attention. It says,

When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive,
he called out the 318 trained men born in his household
and went in pursuit as far as Dan. During the night Abram
divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing
them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus. He recovered all
the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions,
together with the women and the other people.
Genesis 14:14-16 (NIV)

Abram puts it on the line for his nephew. I think there is something special here for people of faith. Sometime our Christian those we love are taken captive. They are trapped, enslaved by the enemy or our souls. I love the way Abram responds. He rally's all his resources to rescue Lot. I believe there are some people around us who need to be rescued too. This is a time for us to rout the the enemy and take back what he has stolen. It's a time to bring them back! This is a time for rescue! In the words of an old hymn of the church,

Souls are dying. Men are crying.
Won't you lead them to the cross.
Go and find them. Help to win them.
Win the lost at any cost.
Go out and win. Rescue from sin.
Day's almost done. Low sinks the sun.

Let's get operation rescue under way. Have a blessed day.
