It was not because they were the strongest, brightest, or the
most in number.  

They were not the most popular, nor were the odds seemingly
ever in their favor.

Wind conditions were often contrary, and violent storms fueled
raging seas.

Yet God’s people were delivered …
  • not by silver,
  • not by gold,
  • nor by their own might.

They were delivered because
they had put their trust -- in Him.


Scripture References:

  • 1 Chronicles 5 verse 20  And they were helped against them,
    and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that
    were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was
    intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

  • Psalms 22 verses 3-4
    3.  But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
    4.  Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver
    them.

  • Psalms 37 verses 39-40
    39.  But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their
    strength in the time of trouble.
    40.  And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall
    deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust
    in him.

  • Proverbs 30 verse 5  Every word of God is pure: he is a shield
    unto them that put their trust in him.

  • Daniel 3 verse 28  Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said,
    Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who
    hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in
    him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies,
    that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own
    God.

  • Daniel 6 verses 19-23
    19.  Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in
    haste unto the den of lions.
    20.  And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable
    voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O
    Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest
    continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
    21.  Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
    22.  My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths,
    that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency
    was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no
    hurt.
    23.  Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded
    that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was
    taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon
    him, because he believed in his God.
