God is My Deliverer

Psalms 91:14 says, "Because he loves me," says, the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name."

I was reading my morning devotion and the scripture of focus is Psalms 91:14a. The writer says that a promise of deliverance is the first of the seven promises made to the one who loves God. She decided to make the scripture personal by saying, "Because I love You, Lord I thank You that You have promised to deliver me."  

The writer shared a personal story about being tormented with fear and  how her happy life was changed to a nightmare that lasted eight years. She said she turned to one verse in scripture that walked her out of that living mental hell. The scripture shared is "All who call on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered (Joel 2:32).  I agree with the her that many of us desperately need God's promise of deliverance. The writer said the Word worked for her and it will work for us.

The writer says there are other types of deliverance that are internal and external. "The writer said God will deliver us from all of the following:"

"Lion problems- are life threatening attacks, Young Lions problems- are constant harassment, Cobra problems- are sneaky attacks which seem to come out of nowhere, Dragon problems- are imaginary fears, past fears, vain imaginations, Terror by night problems- are evils that come through man like war, terror, or violence, enemy assignments sent to wound, Pestilence problems- are plagues, deadly diseases, fatal epidemics, Destruction problems- are evils over which man has no control."  

All problems imaginable God mentions in Psalms 91:14 and more importantly, scripture says that those  who love Him, He will deliver us from them all. The writer says God wants to deliver us from every evil known to mankind. I give credit of this devotion to Peggy Joyce Ruth a contributing writer for the Bible app. I agree with her by thanking God that He is the God of deliverance."

We are living in evil days; get protected; get Psalms 91 equipped.

Pray: "Lord thank You for being my Deliverer and for providing a means of escape from all the threats of violence and harassment, the sneaky problems and the evil schemes of the enemy. I am so grateful for Your Word and the authority You have given me as a believer. In Jesus' name. Amen

             

 

I Choose God!

I Choose God!

Joshua 24:15 (NIV) says, "But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve."

The scripture says, that we are to make a decision without delay to “choose ye this day who we’re going to serve.” I believe the time has gotten urgent for people to choose God or Satan. I decided a long time ago to choose God; nothing else makes sense to me. Everything else is a lie and a deceptive scheme, but I did not fall for it; I have made my choice. "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." We’re living in some crazy and dangerous times. Evil is running rampant on every level of life.

It is definitely a time for recognizing where you are and whose you are without fear, apology or hesitation. The Bible says that Satan wants to crush us like wheat. If he thinks we’re walking alone, unprepared and not protected, he will most definitely make an assassination attempt on our life to destroy everything about us. 

I know I’m loved. I know I’m covered. I know I’m not alone. I know I’m connected and protected. I know my purpose, and I know I’m still growing in it. I know I need Jesus. I know Jesus loves me and He chose me first.  I know I love Him in return and I have chosen this day whom I will serve and I know I will forever serve Him.We have to get serious, pay attention, and make a choice. We can not be inconsistent in our faith. We can not let our guards down. The time is now! The time is crucial! It's time to make a choice!
