Sunday Devotional Thought - Day 12

Luke 19:10 (New International Version)


10"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

Earlier this year I read an amazing story about a father who saved his son. The story was about a son - Chris Marino and his father Walter Marino. Chris was swimming in the Ponce de Leon inlet when he was caught in a current. His father saw that he was trouble and jumped into the ocean to try to save his son. But in going to where his son was he to was caught into the same current that trapped his son. They began to drift into some of Central Florida's most shark infested waters. Reports state that "after 15 hours, some of which were in the dark overnight Sunday, the US Coast Gaurd spotted them floating 8 miles off the Ponce de Leon Inlet."

You know God saw us as his children in the same situation. He knew that we were lost and needed help. We had waded into the deep, dark waters that had the power to move us away so that we would be lost. But, God being a good father jumped into to save us by sending His Son to earth so that we could be saved and brought back to Him.

Spend time today thanking God for saving you!
