I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: Psalm 18:1-3
Lots of mornings, I wake up singing; there is a phrase or just one word that is in my heart. This morning, it was simply, “deliverer.” The Lord was confirming and reassuring me that He is the Deliverer; He is our Deliverer. Let that resonate and echo throughout your spirit because God intended for us to hear that Word today. Perhaps you are saying “Yes! I needed to hear that particular word this day.” We all at times need to be reminded because the cares of this world will wear us down and we can forget momentarily in Whom we put our trust. However, the Word of God helps to keep us grounded and remember that God cares for us and we see us through every circumstance we face.
There are many definitions that I could use to describe the word deliver, but I like these: to set free, as from misery, despair, grief, depression, sorrow, suffering, or distress; or peril which translates into hurt, risk, harm or danger, or evil. We are all dealing with something, and there are no two of us alike. We all deal with life with different levels of faith. God knows where we are and responds accordingly ... because it’s one on one with Him, it’s personal. There is also another definition that I like: to produce or achieve what is desired or expected; to make good: that’s definitely the outcome we are all looking for from the Deliverer ... for the Lord to make good, for Him to make it all alright. Immediately, Jeremiah 29:11 came to mind ... “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil,” and then He closes the verse with “to give you an expected end.” That’s His promise to us and a great place to give God praise!
It is comforting to know that we can always take all of our burdens to the Lord. He loves us; He is faithful and just to come and see about us, especially in our time of need. It is better to put our trust in God than to have confidence in man. He will fail us every time. The Word says, “The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous (Psalm 118:14-15). He is our strength, our foundation, our place of safety, our source, our strong tower, our defender, our deliverer.
Verse 6 of this psalm says, “In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Trust that the He has heard your cry and today it has come before Him. Again, He is faithful to us and even more so to His Word. Praise Him today for His Word, for what He is doing in your life, what you see and what has not yet manifested. Most importantly, just praise Him today for being your Deliverer!
Until the morning, be blessed,
Cynde
