Deliverance Lesson for May 19, 1963 Blkl« Material: Plain* 01; 107. Devotional Reading: Pa alm 13:14. TftOES God guarantee that His children will not get into trouble? There is a well-known song one line of which is: “Nothing you ask will be denied.” Is this true? Experience says, No. The notion that God rewards those who honor Him by giving them a carefree We with all their wants supplied, is yMbu a very old notion. ■ a■ 14 seems t 0 be Lmioft. : .■ the Bible. So there have been '■MCLdO ■ Persons who would ■'"3 IK say that happiness ■-■- j s a kind o f index Dr. Foreman f 0 goodness; find man in deep trouble an<£> there you have a man in deep sin. Find a man in peace and prosperity and there you have a man of blameless life. What Bed pronisss There are places in the Old Testament (none in the New) where the idea just described seems to be found. But in the first place, this Psalm 91 which seems to promise a charmed life to God’s people is a poem, and poets are never matter-of-fact. In the second place, this poet must have been acquainted with some of the more ugly facts of life, and indeed from his own writing we can see that he did not shut his eyes to all the evils in the world. A part of this poem, often overlooked, is at the end (verses 14-16). From the piled-up promises of God there spoken, three call for special notice. What God promises is first of all deliverance. The very word deliverance suggests trouble. A mother near the end of her life looks back and thinks, “How did I ever make it? I’ve gone to bed many a night hardly able to hope that I’d live till daylight. I’ve got up many a morning feeling that I’d go crazy before sundown. If it wasn’t the children it was the bills, it was always something. But somehow God always gave me a song in the night, and somehow He pulled me through,” — That’s deliverance. Protection ~~ But deliverance is not always of the same kind. One day a business man who had been on a trip wired home to his wife that he was safe though his plane had crashed. When he got home, the whole family knelt in gratitude to the God who had protected this husband and father. But the man took a plane several times each week. This was the first time he had ever been in a plane that crashed. What about the occasions, trips by night and day in all weathers, where no accident had occurred? This Psalm 91, by the way, is one that (according to Matthew) the devil quoted. According to the devil (who may well have known better), Psalm 91 means that no matter what you do, God will keep you from being hurt. He tried to get Jesus to jump to the ground from a high part of the Temple, expecting angels to be on hand to keep Him from so much as a stubbed toe. Jesus refused to try this. Not that He was ’ afraid, Jesus never feared danger. But He did not believe that God’s protection is offered to those who deliberately get themselves into trouble. It’s one thing to pray for safety on a plane flight. It’s quite another thing to take off in a light plane by yourself when the weather bureau says DON’T! “I will be with Hln” One of the most joyful promises of God is this: “I will be with Him in trouble.” There is something better than being kept always out of trouble. That is to be in trouble with the Lord in there too, at one’s side. A great host of God’s saints jiave found that to be true. Paul was one of the most famous of these. The “thorn in the flesh” was not removed; instead, he learned that God’s strength is made perfect in weakness. A preacher in a rough slum was interrupted in his sermon by a man who shouted: “You’re a liar! You’ve never had trouble like I’ve had. Wait till you’ve had real trouble and you’ll sing another song.” The preacher went on as best he could after that, but did not see the man afterwards. Within the month, the preacher’s wife died, and the funeral was held in the little chapel in the slums. At the service the minister himself stood by the casket and said: “If the man is here who heckled me the other day, there is something I want to say to him. I have lost the one dearest to me in the world; but God has never l been closer than now.” The heckler was there; and that simple testimony brought him to Christ.

DOES GOD ANSWER PRAYER? Rev. James R. Meadows Many people, including nominal Christians, do not have confidence in prayer. Some of them do not think it is possible for God to hear either the silent or the audible petition 4; others, particularly since the discovery that the human voice can be carried thousands of miles by air waves, admit that it is possible for the Omnipotent to hear our pleadings, but they cannot conceive of His being concerned about our needs. On the other hand, many who believe that God hears and answers prayers have become discouraged because their specific requests have not been granted. They either have forgotten or never knew that God promises to answer prayer only upon certain conditions. One of these prerequisites is that we repent of our transgressions and make restitution whenever necessary. David said: “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” (Psa. 66:18). Before God can answer our prayers, we must have forgiven others of their sins , against us. In the prayer on the mount Christ taught us to pray: “Forgive us of our debts as we forgive our debtors.” He also said: “If ye forgive not men their trepasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” (Matt. 6:12, 15). All requests should be asked in Christ’s name. “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name. He will give it you.” (John 16:23.) Although God has said that He will answer our prayers, He does not promise to answer them the first time we ask. Sometimes He may wish to test our faith, and sometimes God says “No” to our PLEASANT DALE CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN Dolar Ritchey, pastor Sunday School 9:00. Oscar Geisel, superintendent.

petition when it is not to His glory. But there is a prayer that God always answers —a prayer. He is eager to answer immediately. That is the prayer of the contrite heart, the sinner’s prayer for pardon and cleansing. The promise is: “Him that cometh to Me I will in nowise cast out.” (John 6:37).
