The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Some days life crowds in so much we want to cry out, Lord deliver me. Just exactly what do we need to be delivered from? So many things. We get into a jam with relationships, or finances or we get discouraged by looking at past mistakes. Troubles with our health or identity theft or you name it; the world is full of troubles.
Jesus said, "In this world you will have troubles but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
No positive thinking, or meditation or drugs or addictions or people or religion can change or lighten troubles in our lives. He said come onto me you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. He is the answer. He is the only deliverer.
What does all this mean? Well first of all, it means that He will deliver us, as it says above, out of all our troubles. It means, as it says, that He will be close to the broken hearted. Believe it or not, all our troubles and challenges are rooted in our decisions. Decisions based on lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and the pride of life. We just need to let Him handle all our troubles. We do this when we trust Him with our lives and allow Him access to our heart and soul so He can make us 'whiter than snow' (Isaiah) and guide us through life. I mean, lets think about this a minute. If we are in a lot of trouble, and we are lost in what ever situation is upon us, who would we want to guide us out? RIGHT! The one who knows the road map. The one who wrote the manual on life. Our saviour, our Creator, our God, Our King, our Deliverer.
We need to come to Him and repent. We need to allow Him to heal. We need to surrender and give our lives away to Him, the only one who can deliver.
