This past Sunday, we read from Psalm 31. Our Taking Faith Home flyer for this week offers this reflection to bring Psalm 31 home and into our lives. Read the Psalm and then enter into the reflection. Share in the comments those whom see in need of deliverance.
Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16
1 In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame; *
deliver me in your righteousness.2 Incline your ear to me; *
make haste to deliver me.3 Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe,
for you are my crag and my stronghold; *
for the sake of your Name, lead me and guide me.4 Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me, *
for you are my tower of strength.5 Into your hands I commend my spirit, *
for you have redeemed me,
O Lord, O God of truth.15 My times are in your hand; *
rescue me from the hand of my enemies,
and from those who persecute me.16 Make your face to shine upon your servant, *
and in your loving-kindness save me."

Psalm 31 is a prayer of deliverance from enemies. Even though there is suffering and pain, the psalmist writes of trust in the Lord and of God’s goodness. Watch or read today’s news. Who in the world needs prayer for deliverance from enemies? Pray for their deliverance.
