Psalm 57 “He Will Deliver You"

"I will cry to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me.” (v.2)

It is a marvellous thing to consider that God is literally willing to perform all things in us, and for us, if only we will let Him. The mystery is that most of us insist on performing all things in the energy of our own resolve, in the strength of our own power, instead of waiting on Him.

Before God will perform all things for us, as He did for his servant, we must learn to wait in his presence that He may teach us our absolute helplessness; that He may assure us of our need of absolute dependence on Him. As the psalmist wrote, let thy heart be fixed in its resolve to take deliverance from none other — and He will send forth his twin-angels, Mercy and Truth (v. 3). They will come, even into the lion’s den, and save thee from those who would swallow thee up (v. 4).

Wait on the Lord and He will deliver you.

The Truth: "Call to Me and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3)
