Holy Bible
56:12
God’s Saving Power
Dear brothers and sisters, today we’re going to celebrate God’s amazing promise. Life can bring many struggles—enemies, troubles, insults, and tough times. But God looks at us and says with love, “I am the God who rescues you.” In Psalm 56:12, He says, “God, You have rescued my life from death; You have kept my feet from slipping so I can walk in the light of life in Your presence.” This verse gives us courage and hope. Let’s see how God rescues us and how we can walk in His light.
God’s Rescuing Power
Facing Troubles with Faith
When David wrote this psalm, he faced many problems—enemies, blame, and shame. We face similar things in life too. Sometimes we think, “Why do I have so many troubles? Everyone else seems fine.” But troubles come to everyone. What makes a believer special is how we respond to them. David trusted God. He leaned on Him in every situation. That’s why he won victories. If we trust God too, He will rescue us from our troubles.
Rescue from Death
David said, “You have rescued my life from death.” This isn’t just about physical death—it’s about spiritual death and eternal punishment too. Why did Jesus come to this world? In Luke 19:10, He says, “The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.” On the cross, He shed His holy blood to forgive our sins and rescue us from eternal destruction. If we put our faith in Him, He saves our lives and makes us part of His eternal kingdom.
Living in God’s Light
God rescues our feet from slipping—why? So we can walk “in the light of life” and in His presence. In Romans 13:12, Paul says, “Let us walk properly as in the daytime.” If we wander in darkness and say, “I’m a child of God,” we’re fooling ourselves. God’s children walk in His light. They live in His presence. This light brings glory to God through our lives.
Live in God’s Light
Dear friends, today God gives us a wonderful promise: “I will rescue you from death and lead you in My light.” He keeps our feet from slipping. What trouble is bothering you today? What darkness is surrounding you? Trust in Jesus—He will rescue you. Close your eyes and say this simple prayer: “Lord, rescue me. Lead me in Your light. Thank You. Amen.” May God bless you!
