Topic: In Good Times and Bad
Because he hath set his love upon me, I will deliver him: I will set him on high because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble, deliver him, and honor him. – Psalm 91:14-15
God is called by many names. He is the Lord, our Healer, Provider, Banner, and Righteousness. He also promises to be our Deliverer. In this troubled world, that is what we need Him to be most often.
But many believers never experience God’s mighty delivering power because, instead of walking closely with Him daily, they wait until danger strikes to call upon Him. That just doesn’t work. If you want God to rescue you in the bad times, you must fellowship with Him in the good times. Why? Because God responds to faith. Our faith—not our need—causes Him to act on our behalf. And we’ll never be able to develop that kind of faith, trust, and confidence in Him if we don’t spend enough time with Him to get to know Him.
First, John 3:20-22 tells us that we have confidence in God when we do the things that are pleasing in His sight. If we only serve God halfheartedly, then we will not have confidence in Him to deliver us from trouble. When danger surrounds us, we’ll be paralyzed with fear instead of being filled with faith.
Love and serve God with your whole heart. Walk closely with Him in the good times. Then, when you need Him to be your Deliverer, you’ll know you can trust Him to care for you!

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal Savior is one of the best decisions, especially for you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus’ Name. Congratulations, you are now Born again. God bless you.
