Deliverance (Psalm 91:15)

It seems that everybody I know is going through some type of difficult time in their lives.  If they are not currently in such a situation, they will soon be entering another.  Some think that as children of God, we should be exempt from such problems.  Unfortunately they are wrong.  Some may wonder where God is while we are alone toiling in the mire of life.  Others seek him for deliverance from their trials.  Sadly to say, many become angry with God when their deliverance does not come.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. (Psalms 91:15)

From this famous passage, God states that when we call upon him, he will be with us in the trouble.  It is his presence that delivers us.  When God delivers us from the trial, he strips the trial from us.  Other forms of the word for deliver also mean to equip or present strength.  God may not deliver you from the trial, but his presence will definitely deliver you through it.

As you face trials, you would be best to call out to God for his presence and strength in the trial.  In the end, some form of deliverance will come.

If you would like to read more of these thoughts in a hard copy format, my new book is now available at the link below.
