David Prophesies

The Ever Hopeful!!
Those Who Trust In Him!

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those who hope is in His unfailing love, to deliver them from death and keep them in alive in famine. Psalm 33: 18-19

A few devotionals earlier God showed us that He delights in us, because we believe that He is who He says He is.

And now He tells us that those of us who believe He is who He says He is, He will deliver us from death and keep us alive through famine.

David was a prophet.
And He is testifying what He learned about God, through all his struggles and trials, that God delivered him, over and over again, from death and from lack.

He is letting us know that God will do that for us.
And does, in this life.
That as we surrender to God, letting Him be our God, He swoops in to take care of us, His children.

But this also testifies of Jesus Christ.
Because Jesus Christ came to set us free from death.
For when we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will never die, but live forever, with God as our Father, with Jesus as our Savior, filled with their Immortal Holy Spirit.

And since Jesus is our daily bread, and He provided food for the Israelites every day in the wilderness, literal food falling from Heaven, and then when He walked on the earth with people, providing bread and fish multiplied for thousands and thousands, we can know we will never go hungry in a famine.

This also applies to the tribulation.
David spoke prophetically many years before, of what Jesus would do, encounter, and say, as He walked the earth.
And we know from the allegory of Joseph in Genesis, that Jesus is going to make Himself known in the tribulation to the Jews specifically.
In Genesis and Revelation, we know there is going to be a world-wide famine as part of the tribulation.

So, Jesus is speaking through David, telling the Jews, He will keep them alive in the famine to come.
Just like the story of Joseph shows us.

May we know that we know that we know Jesus delivers everyone from death—those who receive Him as Lord— and we will live forever, in a place where death no longer exists.

May we know that we know that we know He takes care of us, for Jesus fed 5000 people in the wilderness, so we can know we will never go hungry, that we will be kept alive through any famines.

May we know that we know that we know if those we are praying for have yet to receive life through Jesus Christ, we can know that God is still seeking them, and will keep seeking them.
