We are all subject to the scourge of sin. It is embedded in our Adamic nature. However, by God’s love and grace, He made a way for us to be delivered from this sin nature. Psalm 107:20 (EHV) says: “He sent his word and healed them. He rescued them from the pits that trapped them.” As we listen to the news, we can clearly see that there are multitudes of people that are in a pit of some kind. Whether it is addictions, poverty, sickness, disease or something similar, we all need to be delivered from the pit that the enemy has prepared for us. The Psalmist knew what it was to be delivered from a pit: “He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps” (Psalm 40:2). He also revealed to us that God sent His Word and healed us. Jesus is the living word of God! He has also sent us His written word. The enemy might say to you that there is no hope, but God’s word declares that in Christ, we have eternal hope. Hebrews 10:23 says: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful”. Today, God is still healing and rescuing those who are trapped in a pit! If you are currently in a pit, cry out to God. He will deliver you and set you upon a rock and establish your steps!
He is faithful!
A faithful person is one who is steadfast in allegiance; One who is loyal; One who is firm in adherence to promises. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 says: “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one.” Today, our Heavenly Father reminds us that He is able to strengthen you, protect you, and guard you from the evil one. All you have to do is genuinely trust and walk with Him. Even if you go through a difficult time, He is there with you. He is faithful. If He said it, He will do it. Walk in joy and peace today. God is with you, and you are protected by His Love and Word!
