Romans 8:28  ‘ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose’

DAILY READING    Colossians 1:1-23; Ezekiel 25-26; Isaiah 53

Captain Eddie Rickenbacker  was  one of the most daring and dramatic figures in the American military in the twentieth century. He is remembered as the American who destroyed the most enemy planes during World War I.

In October 1942, Captain Eddie Rickenbacker was on a mission to deliver an important message to General Douglas MacArthur in New Guinea. But there was an unexpected detour, which hurled Captain Eddie into the most harrowing adventure of his life. Somewhere over the South Pacific, his plane became lost beyond the reach of radio. Fuel ran dangerously low. So Captain Eddie and the men with him decided to ditch their plane in the ocean and use life rafts.

Afterwards, for nearly a month Captain Eddie and his companions would fight the water, and the weather, and the scorching sun. They spent many sleepless nights recoiling as giant sharks rammed their rafts. But of all their enemies at sea, one proved most formidable: starvation. After eight days, their rations were gone or destroyed by the salt water. Left with no food, these men prayed  for a miracle. And a miracle did occur.

One afternoon, after a time of fellowship, they finished with a prayer for deliverance and a hymn of praise. Thereafter Captain Eddie dozed off.  He awoke suddenly as something landed on his head, It was a sea gull. The sea gull meant food and he knew he had to catch the bird. It was a matter of life and death. But at any movement, the bird could fly away from his head.  And so believing God for help, he suddenly lifted up his hand and grabbed! He caught the sea gull. Its flesh was cooked and eaten; and its intestines were used for bait to catch fishes, which continued to sustain them. These men knew God, in answer to their prayer had sent the seagull. They drifted for two more weeks. And on the twenty-first day, they were spotted by search planes, and rescued. These survivors were sustained because of a lone seagull that came in answer to prayer.

Indeed there are those times in life, where we desperately need God to intervene for us to survive. If we can only trust in God, He will surely show up and show Himself mighty on our behalf. It doesn’t matter how difficult things may sometimes look, God is still in the business of turning things around. He can do exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever think or imagine. One good break, one idea, one person God divinely connects to you, can suddenly change your story. You won’t fathom or understand how it may happen, but things will just fall into place.  That is the goodness of God in manifestation. Psalm 75 says promotion does not come from the east, west or south, it comes only from God.

So whatever miracle you are believing God for today, know that He is more than able to bring it to pass.  One touch of His favor can tip you into the reward of hundred years of labor. Indeed with God all things are possible.  Your weeping may have endured through the night but now joy is coming your way. A speedy answer is coming to your prayer.

Romans 8:28 says  ‘ And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose’

Indeed all things are working together for your good. That is why we praise God and bless Him at all times because we know He is in perfect control of our lives.  And no matter how initially discouraging any situation, surely there is an end, and your expectations shall not be cut off. Therefore keep celebrating your God and keep making your boast in Him. He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion. He will surely see you through. He is the God of all possibilities. And even right now, He is bringing an answer to your deepest heart cry. He will indeed perfect all that concerns you today in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for speedy answers to my prayers. I know that You are faithful and true, and Your promise never fails. Thank You Lord for doing for me exceedingly, abundantly above all I could ever ask or imagine in Jesus Name.
