The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
Psalm 25:14-15
Where does true deliverance come from? Only from God. Deliverance is found in God through deep reverential respect for his holiness and might, through living in covenant relationship with him, and through maintaining our focus on him. Any other roads to deliverance are false and ultimately prove themselves to be a snare.
The key to all things is the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is holy reverence for who the Lord is. It means we understand that He alone is the Living God and He alone deserves all glory and praise.
There are many who would claim today that there are many different gods and there are many today who believe that they are simply their own god. But the truth is is that Jesus Christ is the one true God. He holds all things in His hands and holds all things together by His mighty power.
As we walk with the Lord each day His hand and His protection is upon us. We have nothing to fear. Though we face enemies on every side, the Lord is greater than anything we will face upon this earth. Let us focus our hearts upon Jesus and simply draw near on a daily basis. He is preparing our hearts and minds for His soon return.
Precious Father, you have done so much to save me. You who are so holy and righteous, have reached down to take my hand when I was a sinner and in rebellion to your love. Teach me your ways. Correct the wrongs in my life. Guide me into the ways of your truth. I want to not only be saved from my sin, but from days of uselessness and frustration. Make me a vessel that can be used to honor you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
