"In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword." ~Job 5:20, NIV
Remember Job, the guy who lost everything he had because God let the Devil kick the snot out of him? His friends came, talked to him, and reminded him of who God was. In this verse we see "He's a deliverer", that He provides a way.
Job's friends gave him what they knew to be true. Job knew all of this as well, and it must have seemed terrible to hear the above in his time of trouble. Deliverer? God was not delivering him from his ailments, from his losses. But just because God was not delivering Him at that moment did not change the fact that God is a deliverer, that He delivers from famine, saves in battle.
Just remember, because God is not acting now does not mean His nature has changed. He still loves You with all of His heart and is working hard through circumstances to make the best You possible. If, despite your circumstances, like Job, you can remain righteous and not lash at God... You can be all the stronger when God "finally" pulls through.
He's working right now. And He will save you.
