The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; he is their refuge in the time of trouble. The Lord helps them and rescues them; he rescues them from the wicked, and saves them, because they take refuge in him. (Psalm 37: 39-40)

God can protect and deliver those who choose to live in a manner coherent with God's intention.

I perceive that the choice is more important than the coherence. If our choice is true, God is very indulgent of inconsistent and erroneous execution.

When we choose to trust in God - the Hebrew can also mean hope in God - this allows God to work with us and through us.

God is quick and generous in responding to our openness.

Choosing to walk with and trust in God is the way we invite God to enter into our lives with power and grace.
