God rescues us from prosecutions and sufferings

God rescues us from prosecutions and sufferings

2 Tim 3:11

¹⁰ You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, ¹¹ persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them.

Psalm 34:19

¹⁹ The righteous person may have many troubles,
    but the Lord delivers him from them all;

²⁰ he protects all his bones,
    not one of them will be broken.

²² The Lord will rescue his servants;
    no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

Job 5:19-27

¹⁹ From six calamities he will rescue you;
    in seven no harm will touch you.

²⁰ In famine he will deliver you from death,
    and in battle from the stroke of the sword.

²¹ You will be protected from the lash of the tongue,
    and need not fear when destruction comes.

²² You will laugh at destruction and famine,
    and need not fear the wild animals.

²³ For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field,
    and the wild animals will be at peace with you.

²⁴ You will know that your tent is secure;
    you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.

²⁵ You will know that your children will be many,
    and your descendants like the grass of the earth.

²⁶ You will come to the grave in full vigor,
    like sheaves gathered in season.

²⁷ “We have examined this, and it is true.
    So hear it and apply it to yourself.”
