Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. — Psalm 34:19

We know that even good people can have problems, but how do we know that God will save us from all of them? How can we know that he protects all of our bones, especially in light of recent tragedies and the fact that believers are being persecuted in many parts of the world? Paul shows the answer: No matter what happens to him, he will be saved, whether it’s through his death and going to be with God or through his release from prison and continuing his work (Phil. 1:19-23). Our deliverance is secure. We are conquerors in Christ. Nothing Satan can do to us, not even death, can take us away from God’s love (Romans 8:32-39).

Father, please give me the faith I need to believe that no matter what happens in my life, it won’t take me away from your love and salvation for me. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
