Deliverance! The great theme of deliverance runs throughout the Bible. This theme is built on the Lord being the God of deliverance, the Covenant God who keeps his promises, and the faithful Sovereign Creator who shares his grace, mercy, and justice. May knowing God as our Great Deliverer stir us to righteous living and a boldness to cry out honestly to God in all of our troubles. One way we can rely on our Lord for his deliverance is by reading through the Psalms regularly, letting these inspired words from so long ago offer us a rich guide to call to God while seeking his deliverance through the varied tapestry of life's events. As we cry out to God, we can ask honest questions as we share the wounds that life has brought upon us. As we do, we can know God's attentive presence is real as we open our hearts to him and long to receive his deliverance.
My Prayer...
Father, your people around the world need your deliverance from persecution, hardship, hostility, martyrdom, and the discouraging and withering cynicism that goes with these trials. In your majesty and power, please destroy the plans of the wicked. In your mercy and grace, please deliver your people as they face hardships and troubles. In Jesus' name, we pray to you, the God who has promised to deliver us from all of our troubles. We believe you are the God of deliverance! Amen.
