Robinson Crusoe Month

by Lady Olivia

February is Robinson Crusoe month. Robinson isn’t a real person. He is just a character from a book. The book is based on a true story though. In September of 1704 Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor was marooned on an island for four-and-a-half years. He stayed there until he was rescued on February 1, 1709. This inspired Daniel Defoe to write the book called Robinson Crusoe.

Do you know how many people God rescued in the Bible? Many! One example is Daniel.

Daniel 6:27, "He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."
God saved Daniel from being eaten by lions. He sent angels down to shut their mouths and keep him safe. That is an amazing rescue, if you ask me.

God can rescue us from our troubles too. Maybe your family is going through hard times or you and your siblings are not getting along that well. Here lately, God helped me get through when I moved to a new town. I felt uncomfortable and I couldn’t quite be myself, but God helped me. The Lord can rescue you anytime you ask Him to. So just call out His name and ask him for help.

Psalm 118:5, "I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place."
