But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: He is their strength in the time of trouble. Psalm 37-39 Scripture Insight
Scripture Insight By The Fresh Bread Ministry
Beloved, salvation is reserved for the Children of Righteousness and only the Lord GOD Almighty has the authority or express right to determine who receives adoption into His exclusive Family. We the Born Again Believers were given a Lord and Savior Christ Jesus who is all too familiar with the process of adoption considering that He was the adopted son of Joseph his earthly Father.
The Word of GOD states this truth in the First Chapter of Ephesians; 5 “GOD decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. 6 “So we praise GOD for the glorious grace he has poured out on to us who belong to His dear Son. Ephesians 1:5-6 NLT
Nevertheless, we who belong to Christ will have the advantage over the world and the challenges of this life. GOD said in the end of Psalm 37:39 He is our strength in the time of trouble; we can rest on these words from the LORD. The Bible is filled with the precedence of the LORD GOD Almighty fulfilling His promises for the Chosen and Adopted Children.
We can look at the lives of Adam and Eve, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jacob, Rachel, Joseph, King David, Apostle Peter, Apostle Paul, and Philip the greatest example of a Deacon just to name a few; but the best example of the living proof is you and me. We can reflect on a time when the LORD was there to strengthen us during our times of trouble. But, here is the good news for the Children of Adoption: “And the LORD, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8
