Divine Deliverance
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
Psalm 91:3
God protects us from the schemes of evil people, their manipulations a trap. When people plot against us, the Lord knows their plans and doesn’t let them come to fruition. Evil intentions get thwarted when we trust God.
During college, I worked as a night clerk at a local hotel. Upon becoming friends with another associate, I didn’t realize she had evil intentions. Unbeknownst to me, she stole from the cash drawer and tried to blame it on me. Our manager, a wise woman, never said a word but instead started scheduling us on different shifts. Within days, they caught the thief because money started to go missing on her shift, but not mine. God saved me from the fowler’s snare I didn’t know existed.
A comic strip I saw years ago showed a little boy sleeping soundly in his bed while a robber peered in the window. Behind the villain, a cop stood, ready to capture him. The image comes to mind when I think of God protecting me from the unknown. The Lord protects us from things we didn’t even know existed.
God gives us divine deliverance before we even know we need it. Take a moment to thank the Lord for protecting you in ways you never even imagined.
Application:
God delivers us from all kinds of evil.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for protecting us from the fowler’s trap, and for problems we didn’t even know existed. Remind us of Your protection when our faith wavers, and help us stay steadfast in our missions as we trust You to protect us from the enemy’s attacks. Let our firm foundation in You stand strong against the evils of this world.
IJNIP. Amen
