“(God) Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in Whom we trust that He will yet deliver us;” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬. As the apostle Paul is thanking God for past deliverance from the persecuting powers that were against him, he enlarges upon the truth of God as our Deliverer in all times. He not only delivered in the past, but He is delivering us now in the present. And thank God, He will also deliver in the future. This is very important for us to understand spiritually. Even as our Lord has delivered us from the sins of our past, so He is delivering us each day, as we keep our trust in Him. Every moment of every day we can look to Him as our All Sufficient Deliverer! He is always a Present Help in our time of need, which is all the time. But it is not only the past and present, because we also have the added assurance that He will deliver in all that we will ever face in the days to come. What a Mighty Deliverer our God is! May we never doubt Him nor wonder how we will make it. Let us rejoice with the songwriter, “He is able to deliver thee; Though by sin oppressed, Go to Him for rest; Our God is able to deliver thee.” By God’s grace, let us trust Him to deliver us now and one day He will deliverer us from this evil world.
