Fantastic Friday #241-Deliverer

Deliverer

1 I love you, LORD, my strength.

2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

3 I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:1-3


This time of year when you order something online you wait anxiously for the deliverer of that item, whether it be the post office or another delivery service. The problem with delivery in today's world is that most of it is either junk, bills, or the occasional thank you or Christmas card. The world has gotten away from the fine art of writing letters with a pen and paper. I can remember how we used to wait patiently to run to the mailbox for that letter delivery. How many of us look to the Lord for delivery of something that we think we need, but only really want. Maybe we aren't seeing the Lord deliver that thing we think we need, because He is not the post office or another delivery service. He is the Deliverer and has already delivered what we need, and that was His Son over 2000 years ago. Look at this Christmas season with an eye out for our True Deliverer of the only package we ever needed.
