Strong Deliverer

I say to the LORD, “You are my God.”
Hear, LORD, my cry for mercy.
Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.

(Psalm 140:6-7 NIV)

Can you imagine being so incredibly overwhelmed and surrounded by your enemies? David didn't need to imagine. This was his reality. He was surrounded and his enemies on all sides, but David had confidence in the Lord. He knew that God would not only hear his cry for mercy, but that God would ultimately protect him. He would shield him from the snares and the traps of his enemies. God would enable him to be victorious over them. What enemies do you have in your life? Is it an anger problem? A sin problem? An addiction? Fear? God is more powerful and stronger than anything or anyone that is holding you in bondage right now. Call on the Lord and he will help you in your time of need. Trust him to help you win the battle. It may not be an easy road, but God will be with you every step of the way, showing you which path to take. God is always faithful and always good. He loves you greatly. You are a precious treasure to Him. What is holding you back from calling upon his name for mercy? He is waiting for you with open arms.
