Past Deliverance Encourages Faith
David said, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."
~ 1 Samuel 17:37
"This is not a promise of we consider only the words, but it is truly so as to its sense; for David spoke a word, which the Lord endorsed by making true. He argued from past deliverances that he should receive help in a new danger. The Lord's former dealings with His believing people will be repeated.
Come, then, let us recall the Lord's former loving-kindnesses. Will He not again save us? We are sure He will. As David ran to meet his foe, so will we. The Lord has been with us, he is with us, and He has said, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." Why do we tremble? God is the same, and His honor is as much concerned in the one case as in the other. He did not save us from the beasts of the forest to let a giant kill us. Let us be of good courage."

PLEASE PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME THIS MORNING. OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. FORGIVE US OF ALL OUR SINS, OUR DEBTS, AND OUR TRESPASSES AGAINST YOU AND MAN. AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO ARE INDEBTED TO US, AND THOSE WHO HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM ALL EVIL:FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE HONOR, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER. IT IS IN CHRIST JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN!
