GOD’S WORD IN DELIVERANCE
 
God’s people are vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. Read 2 Timothy 3:12-13. We need God’s help to deliver us from these evil and wicked men who attempt to deceive believers. What can protect us from seducers and deceivers?
 
Enabled to pray: The psalmist is truly a believer as he acknowledges that he belongs to the LORD. To write this is to declare himself a child of God, a born-again believer of Christ. He pursues the Word of God for he knows this is what teaches him to trust in the Messiah alone. He continues to keep the Word of God because he relies on the deliverance of the God of the Word. This constant drawing near to the Word makes him pray, knowing his God shall deliver him.
 
Enabled to watch: The psalmist observes the wicked waiting for him. He knows well they are going to destroy him. The enemy is real and they want to destroy the saint. But instead of preparing to fight back, he prays to God and considers God’s testimonies. The Lord’s nature and attributes unveil what God can do for him so he keeps on trusting while being alert to the enemies’ acts. So many of the people of God recorded in the Book have experienced His deliverance.
 
Enabled to discern: The psalmist has been in this world for quite a while and has seen perfection and completion of many things. Yet, he wonders about the many works of God. They are far beyond his comprehension. Even though God’s dealings are great, the psalmist knows all these prove the marvellous work of God to deliver him from the wicked. He may still be under threat but he is assured that God is able to deliver.
 
Dear reader, how can you trust God to deliver you? Read His Word! The more you read the Bible, the more secure you are in His tender and loving care.
 
THOUGHT: Am I truly trusting in God’s deliverance?
PRAYER: Father, the wonders recorded in the Old and New Testaments are more than enough proof of how able Thou art to deliver me.
