DELIVERANCE IN GOD’S WORD
 
The depression suffered by believers can be answered by God through His Word. There is no need for professional counsellors, and psychologists who have limited knowledge of man’s mind and heart. We have our Divine Counsellor who tells us of the truth. Most of the miseries and troubles that plague many believers have the antidote in the very Word of God. It has perfect knowledge and understanding of man’s youthful days and will continue to guide man through his evening years. It is the only deliverance. It has already delivered many from hell and the eternal wrath to come. What else can it not defeat?
 
For His people: The psalmist used the personal pronoun to identify himself as needing the deliverance. God alone can clear the false allegations filed against him. He believes in God’s laws as just and fair. God is no respecter of man. He will not clear the guilty, but truthfully punish those who have committed the wrong. God will give His sentence based on equity and honesty. The psalmist trusts this character of God, and God is his Judge.
 
Far from the wicked: Deliverance is far from the wicked. God, who is in control of everything, will not allow anyone to go scot-free. The Judge of all the earth will condemn those who have done evil. God will see to it that such a judgment will be implemented most reasonably. The consequence of facing the wrath of God is too scary. No one will appear before God unfairly treated. Without repentance, eternal condemnation will be upon the wicked. The destiny of the unrepentant will be in hell and the eternal lake of fire. It is a fair ending, for they have rejected and blasphemed the God who loves them so much that He gave His only begotten Son to be their Lord and Saviour.
 
Dear reader, trust in the deliverance from the God of the Word. We just have to believe in what He has vowed through His Word. If you are a believer who has Jesus, you will surely be delivered. It may not be granted exactly at the time as you have hoped for, but a sure deliverance can be anticipated.
 
THOUGHT: Is my deliverance an assurance?
PRAYER: Father, I thank Thee for the deliverance that Thou hast promised.
