He delivers

By Patty Perkins

Psalm 3:8 “From the Lord comes deliverance…” (NIV)*

Northview Church Grounds (photo by Patty Perkins)

The Lord delivers

from enemy’s grasp,

and fear’s clasp.

…..

He leads from bondage

through seas deep,

and prison’s keep.

…..

He brings to a new land

with milk flowing,

and honey glowing.

…..

He sustains daily

by bread giving,

and water living.

…..

Then, Lord, deliver me!

…..

I would deliver you, my child.

Hold my hand, follow my lead and let me,

deliver you.

…..

I was thinking this morning about the Israelites walking trembling between the walls of water. What went on in their hearts? They walked forward because they could not stay on the banks of the Red Sea. And yet if they had known what God had prepared for them, and what He would ultimately lead them into, how joyfully they would have run through. 🙂 Thanks for your poem, for the reminder that there is something we are walking forward to.
