Delivered

Even as we still “cry” our way through the great tribulation we all must endure in this life, God lives with us through faith. Much like a family lives together now, dealing with the sorrow, pain and tears God lives with us through His means of grace and delivers us His promises of true peace, hope and joy. By an old rugged cross and a cold empty tomb God delivers us the blessings of forgiveness, life and salvation. God delivers us through His grace – and it’s in that grace that we already now stand in faithful assurance alongside the saints triumphant, and one day we will be delivered to join them in praising God, from whom all blessings flow! Amen.
