Look Back to When God Delivered

Scripture 1 Sam 17:37 Moreover David said, “The LORD, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and the LORD be with you!”

Observation: When I look back at my life I see God busy pulling me out of the pit that I dug. Six times I tried to end my life, but this life doesn’t belong to me it’s the Lord. He has delivered me from depression, sickness, stupidity, greed and pride so many times that I can’t possibly count. If each of us looks back on our life and sees how many times God has pulled us up and out of trouble we can rest assure that He will continue to do so. All we need is the faith and obedience to allow God to work in our life and He will. So no matter what you are going through God knows and will deliver you. It most likely won’t be in the way you think it should be, but it will be the right way, God’s way.

Application: Currently I’m going through struggles as I most likely will for the rest of my life, but I don’t fear the way I use to. My faith is not perfect and never will be, but it’s stronger than it’s ever been. I know God loves me and protects me and the worst thing that can happen even death God will be there. I need to use each opportunity to give God the glory, like David so others may see the way He delivers. I’m on a journey to Heaven and my Lord wants me to bring as many as I can.

Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for watching over me and delivering me from all that I have gone through. Be with me as I continue this journey and show me how to make it a journey that will please you. I love you and appreciate all that you do for me each day.
