8/21/13 Psalms 22:5 When You Cry to the Lord, You Will Be Delivered

Psalms 22:5 (NAS)

To Thee they cried out, and were delivered; In Thee they trusted, and were not disappointed.

 

Psalms 22:5 (NIVUS)

They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

 
Good parents usually respond quickly when they hear the cries of their children.  Adonai, our Heavenly Father, is also a good parent and He is attentive to your cries for help.  When you call to Him, He will provide a way of escape and you shall be delivered.  He enables you to slip out of the clutches of your enemies.
 
Therefore, you should be quick to put your trust in your Father.  He has proved time and again that you can put your confidence in Him.  Because you are safe and secure in His hands, you can be bold and careless.  You know you will not be put to shame, nor disappointed. The Lord will never embarrass you.  He will save you from any confusion and you will not lose your composure. Jehovah, the Lord, always builds you up and affirms you; for you are His well- beloved child, joined to Him through the blood of Jesus Christ.
