"Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there's someone somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero
'Til the end of the night
And he's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero
'Til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life"  (Pitchford and Steinman)

The voice of Bonnie Tyler rings with truth as she belts forth the words of the song, "I need a hero!"-- and we've all been there.  There is indeed "someone somewhere watching" us. The Lord God of Israel is strong, fast and sure for His chosen. He is our Hero!

"But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him, if you search after Him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the Lord your God and obey Him. For the Lord your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which He confirmed to them by oath.

Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created man on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation by testings, by miraculous signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched  arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides Him there is no other. From heaven He made you hear His voice to discipline you. On earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words from out of the fire. Because He loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them, He brought you out of Egypt by His Presence and His great strength, to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance, as it is today.

Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on earth below. There is no other" (Deut. 4:29-39).

Thank You, my Lord, my God, my Hero, for saving me. Amen
