Bible Reading : Psalm 107:18-20 TPT. Key Verse : v21.
Sick and feeble, unable to stand the sight of food, we drew near to the gates of death. Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And he did! God spoke the words “Be healed,” and we were healed, delivered from death’s door!
The ears of the Lord are always open to the cry of his children. Anytime you encounter troubles in life, you don’t have to be confused or overwhelmed. If your heart is with the Lord and you have understanding of his commitment to the well being of his children, you won’t waste time before you raise your voice to call on him for his intervention. “I call to the Lord, and he saves me from my enemies. Praise the Lord! The danger of death was all round me; the waves of destruction rolled over me. The danger of death was round me, and the grave set its trap for me. In my trouble I called to the Lord; I called to my God for help. In his temple he heard my voice; he listened to my cry for help.” Psalms 18:3-6.GNB.
The Lord is sovereign. This means that he always does what pleases him and will owe no entity explanations for his chosen acts. When delivers a man, you remain delivered, when he saves, you remain saved, his help is most effective and timely too. No power have the capacity to counter his moves or stop him when he reaches out to you. Even enemies and wicked forces around us becomes instruments that serves his purpose, when he chooses to work. “For through the Son everything was created, both in the heavenly realm and on the earth, all that is seen and all that is unseen. Every seat of power, realm of government, principality, and authority—it was all created through him and for his purpose! He existed before anything was made, and now everything finds completion in him. He is the Head of his body, which is the church. And since he is the beginning and the firstborn heir in resurrection, he is the most exalted One, holding first place in everything. For God is satisfied to have all his fullness dwelling in Christ.” Colossians 1:16-19.
When he does it, we need to return all the praise, honour and glory to him alone. Many lack appreciation before the Lord. They only see what the Lord had not done for them. They seem to be ignorant of all his good deeds in their lives daily. This makes them to be full of negativity and complain in his presence, instead of thanksgiving which is a catalyst that provokes divine intervention in any given situation we find ourselves, no matter how terrible it may appear. They rightly said that gratitude helps us gain altitude because thanksgiving is a key factor that helps us gain access to the throne. Now hear the Psamist….”We were so relieved, so glad as he guided us safely to harbor in a quiet haven. So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness and for his miracles of mercy for those he loves! Let’s exalt him on high and lift up our praises in public; let all the people and the leaders of the nation know how great and wonderful is Yahweh, our God!” Psalm 107:30-32.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are always good in every situation I find myself, because of your faithfulness. Thank you for every victory I enjoyed from your presence before now. Thank you because you will perfect every good thing you began in my life in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
