Songs of Deliverance Part 1, May 5, 2013

In the next few weeks we will visit Scripture that causes a “New Song” to arise in our heart.  Today we will note the Prophetic Song of Hannah as God delivered her from barrenness. There is fastly growing a barrenness in our society for the power and presence of our God.  When God is diminished in our way of life, there soon becomes a barrenness in life.  It is the devil’s role to bring these periods of barrenness to our soul.  As we look at the Passages of Scripture that refer to Hanna and her situation, we quickly note a spiritual example wherein the enemy is at work.  Does this sound familiar?  We work and strive to be a faithful servant, yet we face difficulties and disappointments, trials and troubles and sometimes we wonder if our Prayer is being heard. We are comforted by God’s Word: Ps. 34:17-18 “The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” We have the Word of God as our source and strength in the time of trouble. When there seems to be a barren spot in our life, it is then that our soul needs to cry out in Song unto the Lord.  In these Messages we will see the trail of the individual, and we will see the hand of the Lord extended as they give their Song unto the Lord.  David, a man of many trails and trouble and barren spots in his life, speaks to our spirit as we hear his Words in Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my Strength and my Shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my Song will I Praise Him.” Let us Bless the Lord for His Strength and His protection, that is His Shield that He provides for us! The hour is upon us that our heart must Trust in Him. He will guide us through the wilderness experience, He will be our help in the time of trouble, as our heart is turned to rejoice in the midst of the barrenness or difficulty.  May of Song of Deliverance be on our lips!  And may we always Bless His Holy Name no matter the situation!  Loving you, Pastor
