God Will Deliver

Friday, August 21, 2026

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 

truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all 

unrighteousness.

Verse of the day—Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Today’s reading: Psalm 107-109 1 Corinthians 4  

He Will Deliver Us

In Daniel 3:17 are the words: “He will deliver us”. God then delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the furnace.

Why is it so hard to say, "God will deliver us"? I think one big reason is that we are so inexperienced at praising God. 'Praising' means we tell of all His great works with gladness. Psalm 105: 1 Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him. Tell the nations what he has done. 2 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell about all the wonderful things he has done. 3 Be glad that you are his. Let those who ask the Lord for help be happy. 4 Depend on the Lord and his strength. Always go to him for help. 

Apart from all the wonderful things God has done in the Bible, what has God done in your life.

1. He has blessed us (Ephesians 1:3). 2. He has chosen us (Ephesians 1:4). 3. He has predestined us (Ephesians 1:5 &11). 4. He has made us accepted (Ephesians 1:6). 5. He has redeemed us (Ephesians 1:7). 6. He has abounded toward us (Ephesians 1:8). 7. He has made known unto us (Ephesians 1:9). 8. He has given us an inheritance (Ephesians 1:11,14). 9. He has sealed us with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). 10. He promises He will never leave us. (Matthew 28:20)

Take time to see what the Bible says God has done for you/us. And tell Him how thankful you are. Do this over and over. Praising God is the foundation for growing faith. We must learn how.

 Having said this, things happen to folks we love and it causes us pain. Back up-learn to take a breath and know that God feels their pain-and ours-all of it-and will meet all our needs in Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:19) We must praise. Why? ‘Ye-shei-zi- means ‘He will deliver’…

 ...because He loves us... 

Father in Heaven, 

Forgive me for not knowing how to praise. Teach me and show me how to live in confident faith as I learn how to say "Ye-shei-ziv".

Great and mighty God of deliverance. 

In the name of Christ Jesus, 

Amen
