On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us.”
A faithful believer, living in obedient fellowship with Christ and loved by Him, may undergo experiences that involve danger, fear and despair, and may encounter circumstances that weigh one down beyond his/her power to endure. And yet, as a child of God, we are never left alone. We have a deliverer.
