CHILD FRIENDLY GOD THE DELIVERER!

2 Samuel 22

 

God is our Deliverer! That means He rescues us and keeps us safe. David sang a song to thank God for saving him from danger. Just like David, we can call on God when we are scared, sad, or in trouble. God always hears us.

David had many enemies, but God protected him every time. God also helps us in ways we don’t even see. He fights for us, guides us, and keeps us strong.

We are all in very real struggle in daily life and a daily battle waged against Satan and his demons and his world. The conflict is very real, and to make matters even more difficult, it’s against an enemy that we cannot see according to Ephesians 6:10-12, in which we need divine help for every area of life.

In 2 Samuel 22, David uses many names to describe who God is to him. These names remind us that God is powerful and always with us.

According to 2 Samuel 22, GOD IS: 

- Our Rock 

- Our Fortress 

- Our Deliverer 

- Our Shield 

- The Horn of Salvation 

- Our High Tower 

- Our Refuge 

- Our Saviour 

- Our Stay 

- Our Rewarder 

- Our Lamp 

- Our Strength and Power 

- Our Guide 

- Our Avenger 

- The Tower of Salvation

Do you know of anyone else who can deliver besides God?  Your parents or a friend? There is only one God who can deliver.

There is no one who can save us like God. He knows us, loves us, and watches over us every day.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

- Where do you need God’s help today 

- How can you remember to pray first when you feel worried 

- Which name for God helps you the most right now, and why 

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for being my Rock, my Fortress, and my Deliverer. Help me to trust You in every battle and call upon You in every need. Amen.

Shalom

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
