God is Our Deliverer~

God is our refuge...His talons are strong

Psalm 7, 27, 31, 34, 52 God’s Name is Deliverer!

Satan is a master fear mongerer. The dictionary defines that as someone who intentionally tries to make people afraid of something that seems on the surface seems unreasonable, yet you fear it is true. A mongerer seeks to curtail our freedom by putting us under surveillance. David faced Satan’s talons especially when King Saul set about to destroy him. He was in a precarious position, and he needed a plan to be rescued from King Saul. Throughout these times, David turned to God, his Deliverer and Protector because he knew the power of God’s talons to rescue.

Although David did lie, God was gracious to protect him. Now, as he sat alone in the stronghold, he called out to God. Read through these psalms carefully and note the words you too can pray when it seems like Satan’s arrows never stop coming. “For in the day of trouble He will conceal me in His tabernacle; In the secret place of His tent He will hide me; He will lift me up on a rock.” [Ps 27:5] “In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge.” [Ps 31:1] “But as for me, I trust in You, Lord.” [Ps 31:14]

If you are facing the enemy’s tactics, call upon His name and his mighty army. Put on your spiritual armor and stand fast! 

Facts or Feeling?

Psalm 13  Into thy hands I commit my spirit we somberly say but do we really mean it? What does it mean? David has been in some sort of conflict but in the quiet, he pens the words of his heart to the Everlasting God. Four times he asks God “how long?” It is as if we are re-reading the book of Job where he too asked God “how long?” It is so much like us. When facing a situation that seems that it goes on forever, we hear ourselves say “how long? We can relate having walked that road many a time and may even now be walking that road. We feel adrift with no answers, no solutions, and no help from man or God.

It is in these times we must determine that our emotions are not led by our feelings but the facts. And the fact of the matter is this: God promises He will never leave us nor forsake us. He is faithful even when we rail and pound our hands crying out for His answer. He delivers—in His perfect time for His plan is greater than ours. It is then that we fall upon our faces and commit ourselves to Him who knows the end from the beginning and say “I trust you Lord!” You have not failed me in the past nor will you fail me in the future. Therefore, I trust, I rejoice, I sing for You are my God and my Savior.
