When
you feel caught and destined to die in a trap that Satan has laid out before
you, call to remembrance some people from the Bible. Joseph was rejected by his
own brothers, thrown in a pit, and sold as a slave. Paul was shipwrecked and so
much more. Daniel was thrown in a den of Lions. Job lost everything including
his health and his family. But, each of these men had songs of Deliverance to
sing in the end. You can also if you choose!
A
trap or a pit of despair can seem like an eternity. When you feel forsaken,
lonely, depressed, financially stripped, sick, and even at death's door as
these men were, what do you do? What did they do? They called out to their God
and trusted Him to deliver them.
You
must not look at your circumstances but look straight up from your pit and cry
out to the Lord your God. I pray you will see the Light and the Angel of the
Lord will be your Deliverer!
Most
of us would do anything to avoid life's tests and trials, especially the
temptations set before us because of our own desires. But they still happen and
we have the choice to remain caught or be set free by the delivering power of
God. God will always bring good out of the hard times when we endure and trust
in Him.
Acknowledge
your fleshly desires and the sin that has beset you and repent. Give all your
pain to God and confess your hurt, the resentment, and the anger. Allow God to
help you to forgive those involved in your hurt and receive God's forgiveness
and His love for you.
Remember,
He cares! He loves you and He will stay close during your healing process as
long as it takes. He is never far, always near. Soon, you'll be ready for the
grand finale. So sing your Song of Deliverance and Freedom!
Psalm 40:3, “And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.”
