I recall crafting a sermon on the challenges we face in this life. Consulting my Webster’s Thesaurus, I noticed how many of life’s challenges begin with the letter “d.” We sometimes have to deal with…
• Despair
• Delays
• Defeat
• Darkness
• Desolation
• Disappointment
• Disaster
• Detours
• Danger
• Death
• Dismay
When I finished, the Lord spoke to my heart these words: “Now, write My promise across that list: Deliverance!”
Indeed, the LORD promises in Isaiah 41:10: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
