"Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save." Isaiah 59:1.
When six-year-old Alfredo Rampi fell into an abandoned well, it called forth the sympathy of the whole Italian nation. All available rescue apparatus was rushed to the scene; men worked round the clock to reach him; two volunteers even crawled 200 feet down the narrow well-crawled far enough to touch him, but could not get a firm grip. He slipped from their grasp.
All efforts failed, and the little boy died alone in the dark well. They would have saved him, even at the risk of their own lives, but their hands were too short.
How good to turn to the One whose hand is not shortened, that it cannot save! To know the One who is "able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him." Hebrews 7:25.
All the efforts of man can never lift one soul from the dark depths of sin, but no pit is too deep for His hand to reach, no darkness too great for His light to shine.
Only look up to Him from whatever depths you may be in, only trust Him, only say, "Lord, I believe!" and it will be true for you as it has been for so many: "He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God... blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust." Psalm 40:2-4.
