Daily Devotionals

My devotional time with the Lord during the working week is still and should always be my main priority as we can get carried away very quickly with all our worldly responsibilities. The plan is to start these weekly devotionals on the weekend of 30 July, which is only a fortnight away.

You might have noticed that I have started at the beginning, slowly working our way through the Scriptures and seeking the Lord’s guidance in what I should write. Each day contains four (4) passages and I would like to combine these passages in a single devotional for the week.

May the Lord bless you and keep you!
Sincerely

He who delivers the needy

He who delivers the needy

“He rescues the poor who call to him, and those who are needy and neglected. He has pity on the weak and poor; he saves the lives of those in need. He rescues them from oppression and violence; their lives are precious to him.” (vers 12-14) [GNT]

Who is he?

Although this might refer to an earthly king, it is also a type of, and reflects to God. He who delivers the needy, He who has compassion and He who saves us from certain death. He alone works wonders and make all things work together for good.

He will deliver

An earthly king might rescue us from the hands of an oppressor, but God is the only One who is able to deliver us from evil and certain devastation. After all, He has already overcome and stands victorious, even though we might not yet see this when looking at the current state of the world as we know it.
