Psalm 34:19-20 New International Version (NIV)
19 The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
We know that the righteous can have troubles, but how do we
understand that God delivers us from them all? How do we understand that he
protects all our bones, especially in light of recent tragedies and the
persecution of believers in many places in the world? Paul demonstrates the
answer: whatever happens to him will turn out for his deliverance — whether it
is through his death to be with God or whether it is through his release from prison
to continue ministry (Phil. 1:19-23). Our deliverance is secure. We are
conquerors in Christ. Nothing Satan can do to us can steal us away from God's
love, not even death (Romans 8:32-39).
Thought for today:
Do I step boldly into dealing with problems or do I cower in fear?
