Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
He saved us from something that could have totally destroyed us, and he's still saving us right now. We're counting on him to keep pulling us through whatever comes next.
God's rescue mission for your life isn't a one-time thing, it's ongoing.
