Deliverance from Evil
In Psalm 91 three times God is presented as the Deliverer who will deliver His people. In fact, deliverance may be the best, it may be the most comprehensive, and it may be the most clarifying word to explain Gods gracious powerful work in our lives.
Its a great word biblically, and its a great word in the English language. We all understand the English word "deliverance." In fact, that word has in it a certain tone of adventure, doesnt it? Theres a certain drama in the word "deliverance." Even in English we think of deliverance and if you are asked to give a synonym, the immediate word that probably would come to your mind would be rescued.
When we think of deliverance we think of somebody being rescued out of a situation of grave danger. And that is what the word does in fact mean. It connotes somebody in an impossible dilemma from which they dont have personally the power to extract themselves, somehow being rescued by some greater power. And when we go to the Bible, thats exactly what we find with the word "deliverance." Its a rich word. Its a word, as I said, filled with drama and filled with adventure.
