In scripture it says “thou has exalted my horn like that of the wild ox” ( Psalm 92:9). The kind of horn meant is the deadly weapon of the wild ox. It is a promise of future protection for believers. The horn is representative of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. And I know that if an earthly parent has this inborn desire to protect his family, how much more would the God of the universe protect his children? 7. We remember when God told Abram that he was Abram’s shield and exceeding great reward ( Genesis 15:1). Yet, God reminds us that if we have accepted the Lord, we are God’s children and that the Spirit of God who abides in us is greater than the enemy who is in the world ( 1 John 4:4). Our adversary, Satan, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour ( 1 Peter 5:8). The Holy Spirit is faithful in reminding us that God doesn’t change ( Psalm 102:25-27). David remembered the same God who had helped him before would give him what he needed now ( 1 Samuel 17:37).Īll of us can probably remember when God delivered us from danger. And later, as he stood facing the huge Philistine, Goliath. The same one who helped him when he was a boy, facing a lion and a bear. And while we can focus on what is happening around us, it is much to our benefit if, like Peter, we keep our eyes on the Lord instead of focusing on the wind and waves crashing around us ( Matthew 14:29-32).ĭavid was often running from enemies and in danger, yet, he called out to God. The fears we face about this pandemic cause even faithful christians moments of unrest. It is like finding a safe place during a storm. God Is My RefugeĪ refuge is a shelter of protection from danger or distress. I also know that whatever circumstances I experience in life, God will work together for good ( Romans 8:28).īut truly, knowing that God will never leave me nor forsake me leaves me speechless, because everyone else in our lives can leave us-but our heavenly Father promises he won’t ( Deuteronomy 31:6). I know that God cares about me and tells me to cast my cares on him ( 1 Peter 5:7). God loved us so much that he sacrificed his precious Son and when we accept Jesus and what he did for us, our Creator becomes our Father. He tells us that his ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts ( Isaiah 55: 8-9). He has given me access to his throne room where I am invited to bring him my petitions, knowing that God will answer them according to his perfect will. ![]() ![]() He’s someone I can call on at any time of the day or night. All because the Lord is our deliverer.Īll the attributes of God are wonderful, but what makes them so great is that God is my God. One day we will be in a new heaven and earth where there is no sin, but where righteousness dwells ( 2 Peter 3:13). And God has also delivered us from the power of sin, because we’re told if the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed ( John 8:36). God used an angel to ensure Daniel’s safety.īecause of what Jesus did on the cross, we have been delivered from the penalty of sin. He was not physically delivered, but instead, God took the danger away by shutting the mouths of the lions ( Daniel 6:19-23). God delivered Daniel from the lion’s den. At times, it could mean you will be delivered from whatever is going on around you. To deliver means that you are removed from pain or from a situation. But God is aware of his tactics and we can trust in His power. The enemy tries to make us fearful by scaring us about what could happen, what might transpire. ![]()
