standing by

But the Lord your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies.

- 2 Kings 17:39 (NKJV)

 

I love the verses that talk about Jesus coming back. 
I gather comfort knowing that some day He will bring all His followers home. 

There is an old school song I’d like to reference from Rich Mullins called My Deliverer: 
Joseph took his wife and her child and they went to Africa

To escape the rage of a deadly king

There along the banks of the Nile, Jesus listened to the song

That the captive children used to sing

They were singin'

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by

Through a dry and thirsty land, water from the Kenyon heights

Pours itself out of Lake Sangra's broken heart

There in the Sahara winds Jesus heard the whole world cry

For the healing that would flow from His own scars

The world was singing

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by

He will never break His promise, He has written it upon the sky

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by

…

I will never doubt His promise though I doubt my heart, I doubt my eyes

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by

…

He will never break His promise though the stars should break faith with the sky

My Deliverer is coming, my Deliverer is standing by

...

From the earliest of times there were prophecies that we would be delivered, and then Jesus came. 
And then Jesus died. 
But He will come back, He promised and those promises He made will not get broken.

My deliverer IS coming, He IS standing by.
