The Message (MSG)
14God always answers, one way or another, even when people don't recognize his presence.
15"In a dream, for instance, a vision at night, when men and women are deep in sleep,
fast asleep in their beds--
16God opens their ears and impresses them with warnings
19"Or, God might get their attention through pain, by throwing them on a bed of suffering,
22They hang on the cliff-edge of death, knowing the next breath may be their last.
23"But even then an angel could come, a champion--there are thousands of them!-
to take up your cause,
24A messenger who would mercifully intervene, canceling the death sentence with the words: "I've come up with the ransom!'
25Before you know it, you're healed, the very picture of health!
26"Or, you may fall on your knees and pray--to God's delight!
You'll see God's smile and celebrate, finding yourself set right with God.
29"This is the way God works.
Over and over again
30He pulls our souls back from certain destruction so we'll see the light--and live in the light!
