Exodus 15:11, “Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”

DAILY READING; Acts 26:1-18; Ruth 3-4; Psalm 48

Gladys May Aylward was a British missionary to China in the early 1900’s. Though small in stature, this ordinary woman was used by God to do extraordinary things. One of the incredible stories recorded about her was when she was called by local authorities to quell a prison riot.
At that time she had been doing mission work among the people of Yancheng, China. Gladys was known for always preaching about how powerful her God was. And so when the half-starved prisoners in Yangcheng prison began to riot , the wardens who were afraid to go in lest they be killed, sent for Gladys. The chief warden said since she claimed to have the living God inside of her, she should be able to enter the prison without being killed.
Knowing that not complying with the request would damage her testimony, Gladys walked into the prison.
In the center was a man with a large bloody kitchen meat cleaver. Several men had already collapsed on the ground, mortally wounded. Incredibly, the 5-foot-2-inch-tall Gladys marched up to the ring leader and demanded that he hand over the butcher’s knife he was wielding. The man was so surprised by the authority and audacity of this small woman that he quietly handed over the knife. She then made all the prisoners line up and orderly explain why the riot had begun in the first place.
After hearing of their complaints of squalid conditions—lack of food, no clothing and exposure to the elements—Gladys negotiated with the warden to make reforms to how the prisoners were treated. She continued to visit them and minister to them on a regular basis, leading some to Christ.
Her good works won the people over and earned her the title “Ai-weh-deh” which means “virtuous one” in the native dialect.
Even Hollywood was amazed by her story and made a movie about it, entitled ‘The Inn of the Sixth Happiness.’ Also in 2008, a documentary was released about the life of Gladys Aylward titled ‘Small Woman with a Great God’.

Exodus 15:11 says “Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”

Indeed the mighty God in us causes us to do wonders upon the earth. As a child of God there is wonder working power in you. It doesn’t matter your physical size or situation, there is an incredible, invisible mighty power in you that can devastate any gang-up and quell every uprising.
The greater One in you is greater that everything and everyone else in the world. There is none who can stand before Him! There is no other power that can compare to the Mighty God we serve.
His Name is “El Shaddai” which means the “Almighty God.” The “El” part of this name speaks of the Lord’s strength. “Shaddai” tells us that the Lord is “most powerful.” And the root word for “Shaddai” carries the ideas of power that has the ability to devastate and destroy His enemies. Our God is indeed great and mighty.
He moves mountains and causes walls to fall. He is able to deliver from every trouble and make a way where there seems to be no way.
He raises a standard against the flood and makes a path through the mighty waters. When you engage His help in every area of concern, He commits Himself to seeing you through.
Therefore today, if any intimidating situation seems to be facing you, understand that you are stronger than you may realize. There is power within you that guarantees your victory.
Faith is the victory that overcomes the world, and faith comes through diligent study of God’s Word.
As we fill our hearts with the Word and maintain fervent prayers and praises, surely through Christ we will always be more than conquerors in every situation of life.

PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to know that You are always there to deliver me, no matter what I may face in life. Thank You for always answering when I call and thank You for always causing me to triumph in all situations in Jesus Name.
