Captives of the Righteous Delivered

Isaiah 49:24, 25
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered?
25 But thus says the LORD: "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children.

The picture that comes to mind when I read this passage is that of a preditor, as in a hawk or eagle with a small creature securely in its talons, for it's next meal for she and her young.

If you or I were to attempt to remove that creature from the tight grasp, we'd rip the critter to shreds...killing it in our attempts.

God said here that the captive of the mighty will be taken away....and that's something that ONLY HE CAN DO, to retrieve us or our loved ones from the grasp of satan. He said the prey of the terrible would be delivered.
For I will contend with him who contends with you AND I WILL SAVE YOUR CHILDREN! HALLELUJAH!

God gives such GREAT promise there.

Psalm 124:6
6 Blessed be the LORD, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Father, THANK YOU for HELPING US! You've given great promise of deliverance when we need it. Thank You for being true to your Word and that we can trust You to deliver us and our loved ones from evil. You WILL save our children, in Jesus' Name.
