Psalm 124 asks a humbling question: Where would we be if the Lord had not been on our side? David looks back at Israel’s dangers and recognizes that their survival was ultimately not because of their strength, wisdom, or ability, but because God delivered them. The same truth applies to Christians today: sometimes God delivers us from trials, and sometimes He carries us through them, but in Christ our troubles never get the final word. Because Jesus has saved us, keeps us, and promises to bring us safely home, we can face suffering, Satan, and even death with confidence. Remembering God’s faithfulness in the past gives us reason to trust and praise Him for whatever lies ahead.
“Sometimes God delivers us FROM the trial. Sometimes God delivers us THROUGH the trial. But in Jesus Christ… He will see us safely home.”
