You've Been Delivered!

Psalm 116:8
8For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,

Have recovered from a near death situation? Have you walked away from an accident that according to the laws of physics, you should be dead? Have you ever been declared dead by doctors and suddenly your heart began to beat? Have you ever been told you had an incurable or terminal illness with a short time frame to live, yet you live and are no longer sick? If you have said yes to any and/or all of these questions, then you've been delivered! Have you ever been so overwhelmed with grief that nothing consoled you but suddenly your tears stopped? Have you ever been so hurt by another's actions towards you that your lips could not part to speak and only tears could fall yet suddenly they stopped? If you've answered yes to either of these questions, then you've been delivered! Were you ever at a fork in the road and you were about to make the wrong choice but the door suddenly closed? Have you ever actually made an incorrect decision but you came out of it nearly unscathed? If you've answered yes to either of these questions, then you too, my friend, have been delivered! Many take for granted the power of the Lord. The king who wrote psalm 116 did not. We are not the orchestrator of any of these instances of deliverance. It's only by our Lord. Yet many do not take the time to truly consider what the Lord asks of you and what is said in His presence. Do  you take your deliverance seriously? Has the Lord's mercy upon you caused you to shift gears and live for Him or do you just think He did it because He had to? Remember, the Lord is "judge, jury and executioner". He does not have to hear anyone's plea yet He heard yours in the depths of your heart where no one else can hear and see. The Lord heard you just as He heard the king reciting Psalm 116. If you've been delivered, start acting like it.
