Isaiah 49:15-16  ‘Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;’

 DAILY READING  1 John 1; 2 Chronicles 34; Psalm 89:19-37

Wladyslaw Szpilman, a famous pianist was playing Chopin on a Warsaw radio station when the first German bombs fell in Poland. Szpilman’s family was prosperous and seemingly secure, and his immediate reaction was, “I’m not going anywhere.” His family takes heart from reports that England and France have declared war; believing that surely the Nazis will soon be defeated and life will return to normal. It does not. The city’s Jews are forced to give up their possessions and move to the Warsaw ghetto.

In August 1942, Szpilman and his family were lined up for transportation to Treblinka – one of the worst extermination camps the Nazi had built. But through divine intervention he escaped. As the war intensified many of his friends and families were killed. At one point, the Nazis drove the entire population out of Warsaw and took over the city. But Władysław remained hidden in an empty building, where he struggled to survive by rummaging for food in the ruins.  However, one day a German officer discovered him. Though the officer should have exposed him to be arrested, and possibly killed, rather he let him hide in the house attic. He brought him food and gave him his coat to keep him warm. With the help of the German officer, Władysław survived the war and was eventually freed. At the end of war, he picked up his career as a famous pianist and continued to play in concerts around the world. His story is recorded in the the movie ‘The Pianist’.

The Bible says when a man’s ways pleases The Lord He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.  Sometimes we may worry about how we are going to  get through certain situations, but we have to learn to trust in God’s divine provision. God is not limited in how He will save us, He can save by few or many. He can raise help for you from strange quarters. He can use the unexpected, the unimagined. God can use even your enemies to favor you.

You see, God is a father; who truly loves us  and cares for us more than we can ever care for ourselves. This is why Peter said ‘Cast all your anxiety upon Him for He cares for you.’ No matter how tough situations may look, trust that God is moving supernaturally in your favour and your expectation shall not be cut short. Just as the ravens fed prophet Elijah, God can use unconventional ways and least expected people to meet your needs. The ravens did not come by chance, God commanded them to come to the prophet’s aid.

In the same way you don’t have to worry about how your provisions will come. God can command blessings for you from unexpected sources, people you don’t even know will be used to bless you. God’s plans for you are not haphazard, neither are they contingency plans drawn up at a critical moment.

Isaiah 49:15-16 says ‘Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;’

God has your life well ordered in His hands. Therefore trust that in this new month, whatever is due you shall not be denied you. And though you went through fire and through water, God is about to bring you into a wealthy place. There is a shift taking place in your circumstances. Everything that has been a set-back and a hindrance is about to turn around for your good. Help will arise for you from the least expected quarters. In the place of frustration God is bringing forth joy and laughter. The LORD shall increase you more and more. God will appoint for you midwives to help you birth your dream. He will cause doors of breakthrough to open up to you, crooked places shall be made straight and the hidden riches of secret places shall be given to you in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the good plans You have for my life. Indeed I know that even right now You are at work to perfect all that concerns me in Jesus Name. .

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
