Where does true deliverance come from? No one else. God can save us if we have a deep respect for his holiness and power, if we live in a covenant relationship with him, and if we keep our attention on him. Any other paths to freedom are false and will only lead to trouble in the end. Like a tightrope walker, who doesn’t look at the ground or his surroundings, but at the rope in front of him, so must we look at the Lord. We can only be safe if we keep our eyes on him.

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for all that you have done to save me. When I was a sinner and in defiance of your love, you, who are so holy and righteous, reached down to take my hand. Tell me how to do it. I need to right my life’s wrongs. Please lead me in the paths of your truth. In addition to being saved from my sin, I also want to be saved from days of futility and frustration. Please create for me a vessel that I can use to honor you. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
