DELIVERED! Psalm 124


Many times we face trouble and trials
James 1:2-4 (King James Version)
2
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations;
3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience.
4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be
perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Romans 3:3-5 (King James Version)


3
For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief
make the faith of God without effect?
4
God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as
it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy
sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of
God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh
vengeance? (I speak as a man)

Philippians 1:29 (King James Version)


29
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only
to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
This Psalm reminds us that our deliverance comes from the
Lord.

I. THE PROTECTOR
Psalms 124:1-2 (King James Version)
1
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may
Israel say;
2
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when
men rose up against us:
THE PHRASE "ROSE UP" GIVES THE IMAGE OF A
SUDDEN AMBUSH, A SNEAK ATTACK
A. THE DEVIL IS OUR ENEMY
1 Peter 5:8 (King James Version)
8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the
devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom
he may devour:
A. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD
B. STEP UP YOUR PRAYER LIFE
B. THE WICKED WILL BE YOUR ENEMY
1. OUR ONLY HELP WHEN WE FACE TROUBLE
IS THE LORD WHO IS ON OUR SIDE.
Romans 8:31 (King James Version)
31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be
for us, who can be against us?
Psalms 118:6 (King James Version)
6
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can
man do unto me?

II. THE PRESSURE
Psalms 124:3-5 (King James Version)
3
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath
was kindled against us:
4
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had
gone over our soul:
5
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
A. STROMS OF TROBLES COME QUICK AND THERE
IS KNOW TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY
1. PROBLEM GETS WORSE AND WORSE
2. LIKE A FLASH FLOOD
3. THE PRESSURES OF THIS WORLD WILL
COME
B. OUR TROUBLES ARE REAL AND COULD EASILY
DROWN US!
C. THANK GOD WE CAN HEAD FOR HIGH GROUND
Psalms 121:1-2 (King James Version)
1
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence
cometh my help.
2
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven
and earth.

III. THE PRAISE
Psalms 124:6-8 (King James Version)
6
Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to
their teeth.
7
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the
fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
8
Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven
and earth.
A. WE MUST USE THE WORD OF GOD TO THROW
LIGHT ON OUR PATH SO WE CAN DETECT AND
AVOID THE DEVIL'S TRAPS
1. SOME TIME THE DEVIL WILL TRAP AS A
WILD BEAST KILLS WITH ITS TEETH HE
PROWS
2. OTHER TIMES THE DEVIL SET SNARES AND
TRIES TO LURE AND ENTRAP YOU
B. BUT GOD IS THE MASTER OF DELIVERANCE
C. WE ARE TO PRAISE GOD FOR HIS
DELIVERANCE.
D. OUR HELP IS IN HIS NAME!
