Desmond Doss, hero of Mel Gibson’s “Hacksaw Ridge” (2016) won the Medal of Honor as a US Army medic during WW2 for saving lives. Desmond continually prayed to rescue just “one more” until he rescued 71 soldiers, while under enemy fire. Remember, Jesus “gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from this present evil age according to the will of our God and Father” (Galatians 1:4 NET). The Father alone knows when it is time for His Son to return. It’s not over until God says it’s over. No one but the Father knows the day or hour. LORD Jesus, come quickly; but, in the meantime, help us, also to rescue just one more. Amen.

Impossible Choices
Life is full of seemingly impossible choices. The right choice is always to trust God. “Abraham believed God” (James 2:23) about a future line of descendants through his son Isaac. Then, in the “obedience of faith” (Romans 16:26 KJV), God commanded Abraham to kill Isaac as a human sacrifice. When Abraham complied, Yahweh stopped the sacrifice, substituted a nearby ram, and confirmed, “In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice” (Genesis 22:18 KJV). Every offspring possessing faith — Arab, Israeli, Gentile — becomes a child of Abraham (Romans 4:16; 9:8).
