God Rescues Me From Trouble

...I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him… –Psalm 91:15

The fourth promise—to rescue from trouble those who love the Lord—is found in the middle of verse 15. It is a well-known fact that human nature cries out to God when faced with trouble. We’ve all known men in prison, soldiers in war, and people in accidents… who call out to God when their lives get into a crisis. Even atheists are known to call on the God they don’t acknowledge when they are extremely afraid. A lot of criticism has been given to those kinds of court of-the-last-resort prayers. However, in defense of this kind of praying, we must remember that when one is in pain, he usually runs to the one he loves the most and the one he trusts. The alternative is not calling out at all, so this verse acknowledges that calling out to God when we are in trouble is a good place to start.

If a person has never felt danger, he never thinks about needing protection. It is the one that knows he is in imminent danger who will appreciate and take the words of this psalm to heart. God has a great deal of variety in His plentiful means of protection and modes of rescue from trouble.

God answers our prayers and rescues us in so many ways. I am so thankful that He is creative and not limited by our seemingly impossible situations. But we have to ask in faith and not confine Him to our limited resources. God says, “If you love Me, I will be with you when you find yourself in trouble, and I will rescue you.” But we have to trust Him to do it His way.

Pray Out Loud

Lord, I am so grateful that You will be with me in trouble and rescue me when I call to You. I ask that You help me remember to run to You first and call upon You in my day of trouble. I want to continually put my trust in You and in Your Word until I see difficult situations turn around. In the name of Jesus. Amen
