Day 15

Deliverance

READ

Psalm 32 (NIV)

REFLECT

“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Psalm 32:7

What a profound statement full of hope we see in this Psalm. David is sharing his heart. Even during trials and struggles he can declare that the Lord is his refuge. As he hides in the Lord, he will be surrounded by “songs of deliverance.”

How many times do we feel trapped, hopeless and in need of an answer? This Psalm is a declaration that the Lord is our deliverer and that we can find hope in Him. Do you find yourself or those you love in a situation where they are feeling in bondage or far from God? This chapter reminds us that we can trust that Jesus will surround us with “songs of deliverance.” Seek the Lord now and know that He will meet you and desires to give you freedom and hope. “Whom the son sets free, he is free indeed” John 8:36.

Lord, we pray that You will be our hiding place and our refuge—that we will know, that as we come to You, You are always ready to surround us with “Songs of Deliverance.” We pray for those who are in the midst of trafficking and exploitation –- that you will release hope into the most hopeless places, that you will allow us to be Your hands and feet to those who are seeking a way out.
