Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Psalm 34:19 - NKJV

I'm enjoying life. I have a life characterised by peace. I am happy to let anyone know that I am blessed. On the other hand, it's not that I don't have any problems! In line with how it is for anyone living in this world I get lots of them. Nevertheless, there's something going for me that countless others in the world don't have. I have the Lord who delivers me out of all my afflictions. You have Him too if you're a believer! Heb.7:25.

God's deliverance is sure! Let your faith be the evidence you need that His deliverance is on its way. Sometimes His deliverance is immediate, other times you have to wait awhile. In waiting the genuineness of your faith is examined. In the waiting time, it becomes clear whether or not you are letting what God's Word says be good enough evidence for you. In the waiting time, there's a work out for your patience. Patience is your power to see things through. Its power increases as you let it have its work out. Let your patience have a work out and you'll come out of it stronger, more enduring and soon experiencing a victory that otherwise you would have never known. Heb.11:1, 10:35-36.

In time of trouble, look up! Look up to the Lord, not only for His patience but also for His counsel. Often the Lord gets you out of trouble by guiding you out with the light of His word. His Spirit is the Comforter who brings to you God's Word. He is there to comfort you in time of trouble telling you that there is a way out and that soon you will know the Lord's deliverance. Heb.12:1-2, 2Cor.1:4.

Rejoice that Jesus brings you through!
