Psalms 54:6-7 (ESV Strong's)
With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
For he has delivered me from every trouble,
and my eye has looked in triumph on my enemies.
Subject: Salvation
When we think of Salvation we typically think of being saved from our sins and from the penalty of sin: Death. We often think of salvation in the context of heaven and hell. Yet, there is a powerful aspect of God's saving grace that has to do with every day battles. Battles we have with sin and sinner. God is in a constant state of saving us. We often don't see His salvation. God intervenes on our behalf to keep us from the plight of the sinful world. He interrupts our schedules and we complain, only to realize later that if He had not intervened peril would have collided with our lives. In the above verses David is speaking about a time when his friends turned on him and told Saul of his location. But, instead of panicking, David knew God was in control. Instead of tossing caution to the wind, David casts himself on God. He is willing to praise God and give Him thanks, because he knows that God is going to save him. David trusts in God's saving grace for day-to-day issues. There is not a single trouble God is not both aware of and won't also deliver us from that trouble. It might be just before the trouble (i.e. Abraham about to offer Isaac and God provides a lamb at the exact moment); in the midst of the trouble (i.e. the three Hebrew boys tossed into the flames of the furnace); or, at the end of the trouble (i.e. Jonah). God delivers. His timing is perfect, His knowledge of our troubles; perfect. His saving grace for day-to-day issues: Perfect!
