Deliverance
When circumstances overwhelm us,
We feel our faith in God is waning,
Think again. Faith is still alive, and God does respond to it, though in ways we may not recognize immediately.
Daniel 6:16 God whom thou servest continually, He will deliver you.
Daniel 6:26-27 He is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and His kingdom shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth.
Deliverance may come in the form of a lower utility bill: You had only enough to cover the bill, but an unexpected offering was taken at church and you in faith put in a $20 out of the “utility bill envelope.”
Deliverance may come in the form of a card: You’re seemingly drowning in responsibilities, chores, and commitments, and yes, monthly hormones are peaking out. But God has gently nudged a friend to send you a card reminding you of her prayers for you. Amazing strength flows through that paper.
Deliverance may come from a little eight year old who says “Mommy, I love you” and gives a big hug! When the days are dreary, the long nights weary, I know our Savior cares.
Deliverance may come from a hidden can at the back of the pantry you forgot you had, but it’s just what is needed for tonight’s supper.
Deliverance is relief God’s sends to aid His children.
