Delivered “Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses” (Psalm 107:6). There are two parts to this verse that are worthy of our consideration. First, there is a turning to the Lord in a time of trouble and difficulty. Thankfully, the believer can always go to the Lord, knowing that His ear is open, and that He is able for whatever the situation is. As another Psalm expresses it, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). Second, He delivers them from their “distresses.” Notice, it does not say that He delivers from their “troubles,” but from their “distresses.” The Lord does not always promise to remove the troubles and difficulties from the life of a believer, but there is a peace and calm that is promised when we commit our way into His hands and trust Him for every circumstance. We don’t have to be distressed! Someone gave me a key-chain the other day. The motto on it said,: “I’m too blessed to be stressed.” Something to think about, isn’t it?
