FAITH CAPSULE: Trust and hope will provoke the blessing of deliverance.

Psalm 34

Psalm 34:19 records to encourage against challenging trouble, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”  Answering as a righteous one is not a ticket not to experience the challenges of this world.
However, God delivers in all.
King David identifies four points for His deliverance.
DAVID ACKNOWLEDGED GOD
Despite increasing challenges, David acknowledged the awesomeness of God, “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts my head.” (Psalm 3:3) 
David, in times of his challenging trouble, his worshiping of God was not distracted.
David gave himself to worshiping God instead of worrying over his challenging troubles. He acknowledged God for all He has done over his life.
Acknowledging God in a troubling challenge shall provoke the intervention of the deliverance of God.
Acknowledging God in a challenging time is a self-deliverance to overcome.
DAVID CRIED TO GOD
David cried out to God alone, not to a man
Crying out to God will not elude one from God but will receive the attention of God for self-deliverance in times of Challenging trouble.
David testifies, “I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill.” (Psalm 3:4) 
Crying is not a sign of weakness but a way of getting the attention of God.
Often, pride will deny one from crying out before God, but David cried out to God with no spirit of pride.
The evidence of crying out before God with a voice is a cry from the depth of heart as David testifies. 
Crying out before God with a wide-open mouth should be with the expectation to become filled with manifestation. 
David testifies that the Lord heard him from His holy hill.
DAVID GAVE THE TESTIMONY OF TRUST AND HOPE  
The Bible records testimonies of David, “I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.” (Psalm 3:5) 
In a time of challenging trouble, David hoped to sleep and not lose his sleep in the face of his life challenge.
Trusting God at the onset of challenging trouble but not having hope in God can deny the testimony of deliverance. With understanding, David was with trust and hope.
Jeremiah 17:7 testifies to trust and hope, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.”
David laid and went to sleep in a challenging time just as Jesus lay and slept in His time of challenging trouble of the storm at His cross-over journey. (Mark 4:35-41) 
To gain victory in a time of challenge, have trust and hope in God.
Meditates on Psalm 34:19 to remain encouraged in challenging trouble, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.”
God is a good God that delivers at all times in all challenges.
