God, Deliver Me!

Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you , and you will honor me.
Psalm 50:15

God promises through this verse that he will deliver us from the trouble we face on this earth. Do you face sickness, marriage struggles, or a financial debt? Whatever it is you face today, God will deliver you when you call upon his name..

I am learning that God delivers us in a variety of ways, all according to what will bring us to seek and honor Him. He is always working for our best even when it doesn't feel the best.

One way is to deliver us from the trials: For example, a man facing cancer is completely healed through surgery to the astonishment of the doctors. God delivered the man from the illness.

God also delivers us through the trials: A woman has cancer. Though she is not immediately healed, through the trial she is a light to those who witness her godly character and strength as she leans on the Lord through the fire. God may choose to heal her body, but through the fire of cancer, she is being delivered.

God delivers us out of a situation and into a better place: A child battling cancer, though faithful prayers for healing are offered, dies and enters into heaven. 

Whatever it is that you face today, call upon the Lord and ask him to deliver you. Know that he will deliver you, though he may choose to do it in a way that you do not expect or in ways you fail to understand. Know that He is faithful!

"God does deliver- When we can't understand his methods we can trust his character!"
