What a precious and phenomenal promise we have from the Lord in this Scripture. That though any, or all our sons (family members, relatives), no matter how severely in bondage they may, or could ever be, the Lord will save them. The Lord personally speaks of contending with anyone who contends with His own and against the well-being of their loved ones, and gives safety to their children, and eases them from any spiritual captivity.
There are many promises that one has to lay hold of in life, and from my experience, there are very few, if any, who do not need to appropriate this particular promise as a personal promise from the Lord. Most families have at least one member, close or distant, who has kept them on their knees.
1 Samuel 14: 6b: says, “Perhaps the Lord will work for us, for the Lord is not restrained to save by many or by few.” Indeed, the Lord is never restrained whatsoever.
There were no earthly powers that could prevent Peter’s release, as we see in Acts 12: 6 – 7: “And on the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and guards in front of the door were watching the prison. And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared, and a Light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and roused him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And his chains fell off his hands.” He was led safely out to fulfill the Ministry to which he was called.
Another precious promise all should hold on to is found in Acts 17: 31: saying “And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved, you and your household.” We know the saying that “faith honors God,” but better still, God honors faith.
Psalm 37: 28a + 39 – 40: says, “For the Lord loves justice, and does not forsake His godly ones; But the Salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their Strength in time of trouble, and the Lord Helps them, and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in Him.”
Dearest Holy Lord Jesus: thank You so very much for the assurance of faith that we have in You to perform Your Holy Word on our behalf. Thank You that there is nothing impossible with you, and that You are touched with the cares and desires of our heart for household Salvation. Thank You that You are intimately acquainted with all our needs, and that You are committed to accomplish all that concerns us. Psalm 57: 2 Glory to You alone!
