Psalm 20:6(KJV)
Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
It is a fact that we live in an increasingly wicked and dangerous world. But the good news is that no matter how threatening the world and people get, God will deliver His people in scary times. It is evident from the above Scripture that God’s commitment to His children is eternal. He promises to save His anointed. The Powerful and Faithful God always preserves the life of His children. Irrespective of what is happening around us, God’s Word is everlasting; it must come to pass. We can understand and have pleasure in the righteous and glorious works of our covenant-keeping God, who provides, protects, preserves, and adequately plans for the wellbeing of His children. Psalms 28:8 says, “The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.” The Lord is our strength; the heart that trusts God becomes the saving strength of God, for He is the strength and the refuge of His anointed. He defends and protects us, just like a shield is used in battle to defend and protect the one wielding it.
The God we serve is unchanging in changing times. Although times and people change, situations change, our God and His Word can never change(Malachi 3:6). He is Ancient but not aged. He’s not more powerful yesterday than He is today. That is why we are not permitted to be consumed by the devil and his agents or be a victim of casualties. God remains our Fortress, a Strong Tower, our Shield, a Rock of Defense, a Shade of Protection, and a Shelter in times of every storm. He is Mighty to deliver and save the Mighty Man in battle and the Lord of hosts. The Almighty always rules in the affairs of men to save His anointed with the saving strength of His Right Hand from every calamity. Psalm 17:7 says, “Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.” As God has preserved our lives throughout the years, continue to trust Him, and He will arise against any attack, force, enemy, or affliction in our lives. As the apple of God’s Eye, the defeat and destruction of those enemies is confirmed.
Beloved, call upon the Lord on the day of your trouble; He will answer and deliver you. It doesn’t matter the magnitude of the problems confronting you, only believe He is never late. He will stand by you during all the attacks of your enemies and deliver you. It is only the Almighty God who can save you. He preserves not once or twice but all the time. He is the only deliverer from the forces of darkness, the One by whose Name every knee must bow. For this purpose, whatever may be consuming others is not permitted to destroy you. Are you defenseless, afflicted, troubled, anxious, worried, or helpless? Today, don’t bear any needless pain; take all to the Lord in prayer, for in His Arms, He’ll save and shield you. In Him, you will find solace there! The great Defender will fight all your battles in Jesus’ Name. You will surely testify, and your expectations will never be cut short because He always saves His Anointed with His Right Hand. Stand on the promises of God, for your joy is coming. As you patiently await God to bring you out of that affliction, ensure you stay in the Word and fellowship with God. Continue to live a holy life and give your time, talent, and ability to advance the Gospel, growing the Kingdom agenda.
O LORD, thank You for being my hiding place and my refuge. Save me from those that rise up against me in Jesus’ Name.
