God certainly does deliver his people, but the wow factor of the episode today is why?

Why does God deliver us? Does he do it reluctantly? Does he do it begrudgingly? And the answer is no.

He does it because he loves us. He delights in deliverance.

friend. Thanks for listening. Now, let's join Kurt for today's episode. Hey friends, welcome back. So glad

you joined us for today's episode of Everyday Truth. We're talking about David's enraptured Psalm, where he is just so full of appreciation and love
