"For YOU, O LORD, Have Delivered My Soul From Death."

HE continually delivers us!
(Author unknown)

"Hold me up--
and I shall be safe!" 
Psalm 119:117

"For YOU, O LORD, have delivered 
my soul from death, my eyes from tears, 
my feet from stumbling!" Psalm 116:8

CHRIST has completely and perfectly 
delivered all HIS people from 
the condemnation of sin, as HE 
suffered the wrath of GOD for us 
on the cross, having our sins charged 
to HIS account. But HIS deliverance 
of us does not end there. 

HE is still delivering us and keeping us 
from all that would harm or destroy us. 
HE continually delivers us. . .
  from the power of sin which still
    plagues, corrupts, and contaminates us;
  from the influence of the world;
  from the force of temptation;
  from the deceitfulness of our own hearts;
  and from the designs of all our foes!

"The LORD is my rock, my fortress 
and my deliverer; my GOD is my rock, 
in whom I take refuge. HE is my shield 
and the horn of my salvation, my 
stronghold!" Psalm 18:2
