First Responder

First Responders-when something happens what is our first response

Headaches we turn to Advil…Flu we turn to Emergency Medicine…Unknown illnesses we turn to doctors…etc.

Not that anything is wrong with going to the doctor, but where should we turn to first.

Not even Facebook or websites to look up our symptoms and diagnose ourselves.

God never leaves He is the first responder and we should look to Him before we consider anything else. 

Luke 10:30-37 [Parable of the Good Samaritan] 

Deuteronomy 31:8 (Moses told Joshu) …He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”

Hebrews 13:5 and 8 …For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

1 Peter 5:7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

John 3:16-17 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him. 

John 14:15-16 “If you love me, obey my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 9 We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 10 Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
