WOW -- I have hardly scratched the surface of God’s
attributes and names since I first committed to do it, nor have I made much
progress in working through the alphabet! However, one of God’s attributes
listed below has been especially meaningful to me these past weeks –-
Deliverer.
Isn’t it precious to think about how personal God is
in His deliverance? Our cries to Him do not fall on deaf ears! He delivers each
of us in the midst of our circumstance in exactly the way best suited to us at
that time and in that place. He is never late but always on time.
So whatever circumstance you are in as you read
this, know that God longs to deliver you! He longs to be your shield and
stronghold and your salvation.
Deliverer
Psalm 18:2 “The
Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I
take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
Psalm 70:5 “But
I am poor and needy; hasten to help me, O God! You are my help and my
deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!”
2 Samuel 22:1-2 “And
David spoke to the Lord the words of this song on the day when the Lord
delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He
said, “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer.”
Romans 11:26 “And
in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will
come from Zion, He will banish ungodliness from Jacob.”
Galatians 1:3-4 “Grace
to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave
Himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the
will of our God and Father.”
Deity
Colossians 2:9 “For
in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.”
Dwelling
Deuteronomy 33:27 “The eternal God is a dwelling place, And underneath are the
everlasting arms.”
Psalm 90:1 “Lord,
You have been our dwelling place in all generations.”
John 1:15 “The
Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the
glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Revelation 21:3 “And
I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is
among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God
Himself will be among them.”
Door
John 10:7-9 “So
Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the
sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not
hear them. I am the door; if anyone
enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
Father, thank you that even though You are far
beyond our capacity to understand, You graciously reveal Yourself to us through
Your word. Thank You for sending Your Son to be the ‘Door’ through which we
receive Your salvation and rest in Your pasture.
“Delight yourself in the Lord; and
He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
