  7. “They obey God’s law, not because they know that God will deliver them…not because it will pay off, because God will reward them for their loyalty. They obey God simply because of their faithfulness to God. Their God had delivered their ancestors…made a covenant with them, and had given them his sacred law…They will be loyal and faithful to their covenant God, no matter what happens. They will not worship the gods of Babylon.” – Sydney Greidanus Our sovereign God is able to deliver his faithful people – even in the most severe trials. God will not protect you from that which will perfect you. Our loyalty to God should not depend on outcomes. God is more than able to deliver us.
