“Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91: 14-16.
According to scripture God’s promised word describes clearly what His will for our lives is. “This is the confidence that you and I have, when we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us— whatever we ask— we know that we have what we asked of Him.” 1 John 5:14-15.
Assured deliverance in Christ, in other words, is like an anchor in a storm. Though the waves rise and the winds howl, the anchor holds firm beneath the surface, grounding the ship and preventing it from being lost to the chaos. In the same way, Christ’s salvation keeps us steady, securing us with His promises. No matter how turbulent life becomes, we remain safe, held firmly in His unbreakable grip.
“Because of the Blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoner’s free from the waterless pit. Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore you double.” Zechariah 9:11-12.
As we navigate life and the many challenges it brings we can rest in the assurance that God deliverance is like a rescue rope dropped from a helicopter to someone stranded at sea. The waves may be high, and the ocean vast, but once they grasp that rope, they know they’re being lifted to safety. In the same way, God’s deliverance reaches us in our deepest struggles, and once we hold onto it, we are certain of rescue, no matter the depth of the waters around us.
Let us Pray!
Heavenly Father, “Restore us O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved!” Psalm 80:3
In Jesus Name, Amen.
