I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
    he delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 34:4

Fears are often avoided. We see them from a distance and steer clear, but what happens when they come upon you all at once? God will come and carry us to safety. In this case, deliverance came to David when he pretended to be crazy! That’s the context for this Psalm.

So don’t expect your deliverance to always look like Elijah’s fiery chariot or a the spies’ basket over the wall, but look for it! God is ready to deliver those who call to him.
