Wisdom for Fools: 101 Proverbs to Live By (2013)

Strength for the Journey: 52 Devotions from John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress (2012)

Shane Johnson, from Brantford, Ontario, has been commended from Beth-Park Bible Chapel since 1999. In 2001, he married Shelly, who joined him in the ministry, and they together are raising God’s energetic blessings: Micah, Noah, Josiah, Isaiah and Leah. 

Shane has received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English and History from McMaster University. His passions are writing, preaching, teaching and working with children and youth, and perhaps a little soccer too.

DAILY?READINGS: 1 Chronicles 16; Ezekiel 16:35-63; John 6:1-21

Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.  Psalms 107:6

This psalm presents a cyclical theme that many of us have experienced first hand: man’s failure, sin’s consequences, a cry for deliverance and God in His grace providing salvation time and time again. For each one of His people’s distresses, God provides the corresponding relief. What an encouragement for us! Whatever our burden may be, whether due to our own failure or one of life’s heavy blows, we too can cry out to God in our need and rest assured that “He will deliver us”.  —E. V.


He is able to deliver thee, He is able to deliver thee;
Though by sin oppressed, go to Him for rest,
Our God is able to deliver thee.
—William A. Ogden
