Today's post is a little different.I had something else planned, but I felt led to share from my personal Bible study this morning.I was reading Psalm 40, and it hit me in a fresh way — because in one Psalm, you see David move through multiple “modes” that many of us recognize:despairbreakthroughworshipboldnessand then… trouble againSo here's what we're going to do:I'm going to read Psalm 40 (NLT)Then I'll walk through the key sections and pull out the lessonsWe'll end with a prayerIf you want to grab your Bible and read alongside me, you can.Psalm 40 (NLT)“I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord…” (Psalm 40:1–3)“Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord, who have no confidence in the proud or in those who worship idols. O Lord my God, You have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal…” (Psalm 40:4–5)“You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. Now that You have made me listen, I finally understand— You don't require burnt offerings or sin offerings. Then I said, ‘Look, I have come. As is written about me in the Scriptures: I take joy in doing Your will, my God, for Your instructions are written on my heart.'” (Psalm 40:6–8)“I've told all Your people about Your justice. I have not been afraid to speak out, as You, O Lord, well know… I have talked about Your faithfulness and saving power… I have told everyone in the great assembly of Your unfailing love and faithfulness.” (Psalm 40:9–10)“Lord, don't hold back Your tender mercies from me. Let Your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me. For trouble surrounds me—too many to count… They outnumber the hairs of my head. I have lost all courage.” (Psalm 40:11–12)“Please, Lord, rescue me! Come quickly, Lord, and help me…” (Psalm 40:13)“But may all who search for You be filled with joy and gladness in You. May those who love Your salvation repeatedly shout, ‘The Lord is great!'” (Psalm 40:16)“As for me, since I am poor and needy, let the Lord keep me in His thoughts. You are my Helper and my Savior. O my God, do not delay.” (Psalm 40:17)What Psalm 40 Shows UsPsalm 40 gives us a picture of David experiencing multiple seasons in one Psalm.And honestly… that's what life feels like.There are moments we're strong.Moments we're grateful. Moments we're worshiping. And moments we're pleading again.Let's break it down.Read the rest at: https://open.substack.com/pub/litwithprayer/p/my-help-and-my-deliverer

Friday, 27 February 2026   Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist. Matthew 17:13   “Then the disciples, they comprehended that He spoke to them concerning John the Immerser” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the three disciples that Elijah had come already. And yet, they didn't know him, and they did to him whatever they wished. He included the thought that they would likewise cause the Son of Man to suffer at their hands. Having said that, it next says, “Then the disciples, they comprehended.”   The word suniémi has already been seen eight times. It is a word that signifies “to put together.” They joined the facts that have been presented to them and have made a conclusion concerning what Jesus is saying, comprehending what they had not yet understood. What they comprehended is “that He spoke to them concerning John the Immerser.”   Jesus never said that the person on the mountain with Him and Moses was John the Baptist. Matthew clearly identifies him twice as Elijah. However, on the way down, their question was about the coming of Elijah according to the prophecy of Malachi 3:1 and 4:5, 6.   They could not understand how Elijah fit into the scenario if he was supposed to come before the coming of the whopping and fearful day of Yehovah. The voice from heaven told them to listen to Jesus. If Jesus was now the one to listen to, how could Elijah be the messenger to tell Israel to restore the hearts of the people?   John came in the spirit and power of Elijah, not as Elijah himself (John 1:21). Unless one believes that the book of Revelation has been fulfilled, as preterists do, which is a giant error in eschatology, the day of the Lord referenced by Malachi is still future.   Life application: To assume that all prophecy except the return of Christ is fulfilled is to dismiss a literal interpretation of a majority of the Bible, inclusive of both testaments. And this isn't just in plain, easy-to-understand prophecies and promises, but in typology as well.   It is true that typology can be easily manipulated or misinterpreted, but a proper evaluation of what is being presented leaves no doubt about what is coming. God is not through with Israel, and there is a time when they, as a nation, must (and will) choose to accept that Jesus is their long-rejected Messiah.   How anyone can read and misinterpret Romans 9-11 and think that God is done with Israel would be laughable if it were not so sad. One example from that dissertation says –   “For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; 27 For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.'” Romans 11:25-27   A simple question to ask concerning Paul's words is, “Has the fullness of the Gentiles come in?” Obviously not! Another question that follows naturally is, “Does Paul here call the Gentiles either Israel or Jacob?” Obviously not! He calls them “Gentiles,” thus providing a clear and definite distinction between the two.   As Paul refers to turning away ungodliness from Jacob, something Elijah is prophesied to do in Malachi 4, and that is to occur only after the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, then it is as obvious as the nose on a preterist's face that there is yet a plan and purpose for Jacob, meaning Israel but stated as Jacob to make sure even the dullest sort can understand he is referring to the wayward nation of Israel.   Are they enemies of the gospel? Yes! (Romans 9:28). Are they still beloved for the sake of the fathers? Yes! (Romans 9:28). Are their gifts and calling irrevocable? Yes! (Romans 9:29). Israel, a people who are currently not God's people, will be His people again someday. This is what the Bible teaches.   God, despite their disobedience, will again be rich in mercy to them, demonstrating His goodness even to those who have completely walked away from Him, turning their hearts to every “god,” idol, and perversion known. Why? Because He is faithful even when we are unfaithful. Thank God for His merciful kindness to the people of the world.   Lord God, how can we not praise You for who You are and for all You have done for us, even us. Our hearts are wicked, our thoughts are perverse, our actions belie our profession again and again. And yet, because of Your covenanting with us through the blood of Jesus Christ, You remain rich in mercy to us. Thank You, O God, for Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Jeremy Lallier discusses 1 Samuel 14:6, NET Bible—“Perhaps the LORD will intervene for us. Nothing can prevent the LORD from delivering, whether by many or by a few.”

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 15 As it is said,“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”16 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? 17 And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.Hebrews 3:12-19BETTER DELIVERERTherefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.Hebrews 3:12-19“They shall not enter my rest.”6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.Hebrews 3:12-19Green Day - American Idiot “Don't want to be an…”Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name “I won't do what you tell me”JONATHAN EDWARDS(photo)70 Resolutions by Jonathan EdwardsResolution one: “I will live for God.”Resolution two: “If no one else does, I still will.”Resolution six:“I won't live halfway — I'm going all in while I have time.”Resolution seven: “I'm going to live now the way I'll wish I had at the end of my life.”Deliverance: the action of being rescued or set freeDeliverance is not a transition from something bad to something neutral, it's going from some bad to something good.According to Morris, the ancient Rabbis considered Moses to be the greatest man ever, greater than the angels.The writer to the Hebrews does nothing to criticize Moses.David Guzik7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,“Today, if you hear his voice,8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,     on the day of testing in the wilderness,9 where your fathers put me to the test     and saw my works for forty years.10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;     they have not known my ways.'11 As I swore in my wrath,     ‘They shall not enter my rest.'”12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. Hebrews 3:7-12What they did —> What that shows us about God —> The outcomeMoses - (OUT)What Moses did: freed God's people from 400 years of oppressionWhat that shows us about God: God cares deeply about rescuing us from our burdens16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.Hebrews 4:16The Outcome: It was not enough for themJoshua - (IN)What Joshua did: Brought God's people into the Promise Land after 40 years of wanderingWhat that shows us about God: God cares deeply about fulfilling our desiresThe Outcome: It was not enough for them19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief.Hebrews 3:15-19One can truly believe God, yet be occasionally troubled by doubts. There is a doubt that wants God's promise but is weak in faith at the moment. Unbelief isn't weakness of faith; it sets itself in opposition to faith.David GuzikYour unbelief is your fault, not your misfortune.Charles Spurgeon6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted,“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, 10 for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.Hebrews 4:6-10Jesus - (NOW)What Jesus did: Paid for sin with His own life once and for all.What that shows us about God: What God cares most about is our DEEPEST good.“Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others do the same.”C.S.

Humanity stood helpless—facing suffering, sin, temptation, and even death itself. And the Son of God did something astonishing: He did not rescue us from a distance. Jesus became fully human so that He could stand with us in three ways…as our Brother, as our Deliverer, and as our High Priest.

Sunday Morning Service, February 22th, AD 2026

When Leading Through the Wilderness? Exodus 18:21–23; 33:11 – Leadership in the wilderness is exhausting. Moses carries the weight of a restless people and discovers that even faithful leaders feel overwhelmed, lonely, and stretched thin. This final week explores how God sustains those called to lead—not by removing the burden, but by sharing it, strengthening it, and reminding us that the work has always been his. In the end, the wilderness reveals not just the limits of Moses, but the greater Deliverer who leads us home. ginghamsburg.org  

Deliverer, God, Bible, Parkwood, Barefield

Success can be a dangerous season for God's people, especially for those in leadership. The greatest threats often do not come in moments of fear or weakness, but after victory, when admiration grows and vigilance fades. Judges 8 confronts us with this uncomfortable truth. It shows how a God-appointed deliverer can slowly lose his way, not through open rebellion at first, but through subtle shifts of the heart.The decline follows a troubling pattern. Resentment takes root when criticism is no longer received humbly. Revenge follows when personal honour begins to matter more than God's glory. Eventually, leadership goes rogue, when outward devotion to the Lord masks an inward drift toward self-rule. None of this happens overnight. It unfolds gradually, step by step, until the leader who once depended fully on God now leads in ways that confuse and harm God's people.This passage presses an important question on us. Where is our confidence placed? If our hope rests in human leaders, even gifted and God-used ones, we will always be disappointed. Scripture is honest about that reality. But it also points us beyond failed deliverers to a faithful One. Hebrews 12:1-3 calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus. Unlike every human leader, He does not drift, retaliate, or grasp for power. He endured the cross, remained obedient, and now reigns in glory. When deliverers lose their way, Jesus never will.Series: Judges: The Flawed and the FaithfulScripture: Judges 8Speaker: Pastor David Hallett

God, forgive me for words that hurt the heart of another. Keywords: Words; forgiveness; Deliverer; Rock; Redeemer; wisdom. Scripture: Psalm 19:14

From Sunday, 2/8, CrossLife member Beau Barrera brings a message from the final chapter of Nahum. Listen as Beau teaches of God's redemption and how He delivers His people from the evils of the world.

Just as eyewitnesses may see any event from different perspectives and recall different details, each of the Gospel writers has a slightly different focus in the information he presents.  Matthew's record focuses on the death of Christ and spilling of blood that would fulfill the shadows and types of the Old Testament sacrifices, presenting Christ as Deliverer and Reconciler for both Jews and Gentiles.  Our only choice is to either wholly accept or wholly reject him.

Exodus 2:11-22One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people. He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike your companion?” He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.” When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well.Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came and drew water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. The shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and saved them, and watered their flock. When they came home to their father Reuel, he said, “How is it that you have come home so soon today?” They said, “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds and even drew water for us and watered the flock.” He said to his daughters, “Then where is he? Why have you left the man? Call him, that he may eat bread.” And Moses was content to dwell with the man, and he gave Moses his daughter Zipporah. She gave birth to a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.”

Encountering the Divine Deliverer Part 2 - Mark 5:14-20 - Ace Davis

Romans 7 gets real fast.

The judges of Israel delivered the people time and again from wicked foreign rulers. But Christ is a better deliverer because He saves us from sin and the evil one.

February 6, 2026Today's Reading: Job 3:11-26Daily Lectionary: John 1:35-51“I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, but trouble comes.” (Job 3:26)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Everyone has a bad day. Some days are worse than others. In fact, some are downright terrible. Job had one of these terrible times. He was robbed of his children, his possessions, even his health. The book of Job is often hard to read. He is utterly miserable, even longing for death. This is not easy stuff for us to hear or think about. And while preachers and teachers often hold up Job as a model of steadfast faith amid hardship, we should not overlook the depth of his despair.Statistically speaking, many today feel just like Job. Anxiety and depression, even to the point of wishing for death, are increasingly common. Chances are, everyone reading this either knows someone who suffers from these afflictions or has struggled with them personally. What makes this kind of suffering so difficult is that it is not visible like a physical wound. There is no easy bandage or quick remedy for the grief of the heart and the anguish of the soul.But the book of Job does not leave him wallowing in the dust. His friends Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar came to sit with him. They did not get everything right; they even made some things worse with their advice. But they came. They showed up. They sat in silence for seven days. And even in their imperfection, they remind us what Christian compassion can look like. We may not be able to fix a given situation or explain it, but we can show up.Most importantly, God did not abandon Job. Though Job struggled, he never cursed God, because he knew, somehow, that God was still his Redeemer. And Job was right. In chapter 19, Job makes a bold confession: “I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will stand upon the earth.” He believed in the resurrection. He trusted in a Deliverer.God does not promise us a life without suffering. In fact, He prepares us to expect it. But He does give us something even greater: Jesus Christ, who suffered in our place, endured the cross, and rose again. He meets us in our darkest days and leads us through death and despair to resurrection and life everlasting.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.When in the hour of deepest need we know not where to look for aid; when days and nights of anxious thought no help or counsel yet have brought, then is our comfort this alone that we may meet before Your throne; to You, O faithful God, we cry for rescue in our misery. For You have promised, Lord, to heed Your children's cries in time of need through Him whose name alone is great, our Savior and our advocate. Amen. (LSB 615:1-3)Rev. Christopher Brademeyer, St. John's Lutheran Church in Oakes, NDAudio Reflections Speaker: Rev.

Exodus 3:1-12

February 1, 2026   In this episode the speaker offers a sermon-style, verse-by-verse exploration of the book of Exodus, arguing that the whole book is designed to reveal who God truly is. Using the recurring phrase "so that they may know that I am the Lord," the message traces how God introduces himself to both Israel and Egypt through deliverance, mighty signs, provision, and dwelling among his people. The talk is grounded in specific Exodus passages (including chapters 6–17, 25–40) and connects Old Testament events to New Testament fulfilment and Christian experience. Topics covered include God as Deliverer (the Exodus rescue and its theological implications), demonstrations of divine Power and Mighty Works (the plagues, the Red Sea, and the role of miracles), Gods removal of Calamity (the frogs episode and the distinction between signs and true authority), and Sanctification (how God sets his people apart). The episode also treats the importance of Remembering and Teaching Gods acts to future generations, Gods Provision in the wilderness (manna and water from the rock), Gods dwelling with his people (the tabernacle and the promise of Emmanuel), and the gift of Rest (the Sabbath and the rest found in Christ). Hiram draws on a wide range of biblical cross-references and examples — including Job, the Psalms, Isaiah, the Gospels, Acts, Paul's testimony, Peter's deliverance, and the healing in John 9 — to show continuity between Exodus and the whole biblical story. Contemporary illustrations and testimonies appear as well: John Newtons conversion at sea, Tilly Smiths tsunami warning, and modern reflections on providence, evangelism, and perseverance in faith. Key takeaways emphasize that Exodus is more than history or national origin: it is theological and transformational. Listeners will hear seven major ways the episode argues we know God is Lord — he delivers, displays power, removes calamity, sanctifies his people, commands remembrance, provides for needs, dwells with his people, and offers rest — and how each of these motifs applies to Christian life today, including the assurance of salvation, baptismal invitation, and the call to tell others. The tone is pastoral and invitational. The speaker repeatedly connects ancient narratives to present-day faith practice (noting relevance even for listeners in 2026), encourages the hearing of Scripture as a means of transformation rather than mere information, and closes with an invitation for listeners to respond: to confess faith, be baptized, request prayer, or pursue further study with the church. Expect a clear, sermon-driven exposition that blends careful biblical reading, applied theology, memorable illustrations, and practical next steps for faith: how Gods acts in Exodus point us to Jesus, assure us of Gods ongoing presence, and invite us into rest and mission.   Handout:  How We Know He is the LORD — Hiram Kemp    1.

In this Holy Habits message from Deuteronomy 5, the focus is Sabbath rest—not laziness, but a God-designed rhythm to stop striving and be restored. It challenges our hustle culture, calls us to trust God as Lord, Deliverer, and Provider, and shows how real rest renews us personally, relationally, and spiritually so we can keep walking with Jesus without burning out.

Exodus 1 ends with the recognition that Israel needs a deliverer, and Exodus 2 begins with the birth of that deliverer. But before Moses can save anyone, he himself needs to be saved from near certain death. In the eighty years that follow, God uses both the miraculous and the mundane to prepare him to partner with Yahweh in the stunning rescue of God's people.

Sermon Text: Exodus 1

Verse by verse study through the book of Acts Chapter Seven and Verse Thirty Five

This sermon centers on the transformative power of encountering God's personal presence through the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that biblical truth alone is insufficient without spiritual renewal and heartfelt worship. Drawing from Psalm 40, it calls believers to move beyond intellectual knowledge to a life of genuine rejoicing, magnifying God's salvation, embracing spiritual need with humility, and advancing in faith to overcome spiritual opposition. The preacher passionately advocates for authentic expressions of love, gratitude, and worship—both privately and corporately—urging the congregation to let the Holy Spirit lead their emotions, relationships, and spiritual priorities. With a tone that is deeply pastoral, convicting, and hopeful, the message challenges the church to be a living, breathing community where God's presence is palpable, relationships are restored, and the gospel is lived out in tangible, Spirit-led ways.

Exodus is more than a story of escape—it is a revelation of Jesus.In this powerful message from the series Jesus Revealed in Every Book of the Bible, we uncover how Christ is revealed throughout the book of Exodus as the Deliverer, the Passover Lamb, the daily Provider, and the God who dwells with His people.In “Delivered by the Blood: Jesus Revealed in Exodus,” we trace the scarlet thread of redemption from the blood on the doorposts to the cross of Christ. Deliverance was never about worthiness—it was always about obedience and the blood. When God saw the blood, judgment passed over, and freedom began.This message reveals that Jesus doesn't just bring us out of bondage—He brings us into freedom, abundance, and identity. Just as Israel was delivered from Egypt, Jesus still delivers us today from modern forms of bondage such as fear, old identities, emotional wounds, religious striving, people-pleasing, scarcity thinking, and self-reliance.We also see Jesus revealed in the burning bush—meeting Moses in hidden places with holy purpose—and in the manna from heaven, teaching us daily dependence. Finally, Exodus points us to God's deepest desire: to dwell with His people, a promise fully fulfilled in Christ.Rooted in Exodus 3:7–8, this message reminds us that God sees our affliction, hears our cry, knows our pain, and comes down to deliver us—not into survival, but into a spacious place of freedom and abundance.The same Jesus who delivered then is still delivering today.In 2026, we walk redeemed, free, nourished by heaven, and aware of His presence—because we are delivered by the blood.

Isaiah predicted a deliverer would come who would proclaim good news to the poor and set the captives free. Jesus had come to deliver those who needed it most—including the Gentiles.
