Isaiah 65:24 ‘Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.’
DAILY READING; John 5:1-18; 1 Chronicles 18-19; Zechariah7
Bob Gass, international minister and author of ‘The Word For You Today’ shared a remarkable testimony on January 13, 2017. He told the story of Wilda Lahmann, who experienced an amazing timely divine intervention.
Wilda’s husband, Randy Lahmann had woken up in the small hours of the morning suffering a massive heart attack.
There wasn’t time to wait for an ambulance, so Wilda got him into the car and drove franticly to the hospital.
But with the hospital about fifteen miles away, and Randy’s condition getting worse, Wilda realized he would probably die before they got there.
In desperation, she prayed and cried out to God for help.
Moments later, she saw what looked like an ambulance parked by the roadside. She wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her. But it was indeed an ambulance with a paramedic standing beside it.
As she slammed on the brakes and screamed for help, the paramedics immediately responded. They ran to Randy and started emergency treatment. Thereafter, he was rushed to the hospital where for the next three days he was in a very serious condition. When he eventually recovered, Wilda was very grateful for the amazing timely arrival of the paramedics which had saved Randy’s life. However, she was amazed to find out that the paramedics had been there due to a mix up of location. They had responded to a call that there was an accident at the road intersection, but when they got there and found no accident, they had parked by the roadside to get clarification from their headquarters. Then seconds later, Wilda drove along with Randy in a critical condition.
However, Wilda knew that the paramedics had not been there by accident or due to an address mix-up, but rather God had arranged for them to be there ahead of time, to save Randy’s life.
It is good to know that God says, ‘Before they call I will answer, and while they are yet speaking I will hear.’
In Genesis 37, when the brothers of Joseph threw him into a deep pit and were contemplating killing him, a caravan of Ishmaelite merchants came along in the nick of time. Joseph’s life was spared when his brothers saw the merchants and decided to sell him off rather than to kill him.
But the interesting thing is that long before Joseph was thrown into the pit, the Merchants’ caravan had been on their way coming, traveling towards Egypt.
Long before Joseph had the problem, God had already activated the solution . When it looked like the end of the road to Joseph, God had already set in motion the plan to take him from the pit to the palace.
The truth is that the things you may be worried about today, God already has them sorted out.
When we are in a covenant relationship with God, we can be sure He will always go ahead of us to make the crooked places straight.
Even before trouble comes, He has already organized a rescue and orchestrated things to work for our good.
Therefore each time the enemy tries to get you into a fix, always remember that you serve the God who is always on duty, He never sleeps nor slumbers and nothing takes Him by surprise. He has your life in perfect control.
However, it is only through the eyes of faith that we can see God at work even in the midst of the storm.
This is why it is important to ensure that we are always filled with faith through diligent study of the Word, because victory in battle belongs to those who know their God.
God says in Psalm 91:14 -15 “Because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.”
When we love God and truly serve Him, there is no mountain that He cannot move for us and no door He cannot open for us. Instead of fretting over negative situations, let us switch to prayers and rather than worry, let us start to worship.
Certainly, God is watching over us and He is able to abundantly exceed our every expectations.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for always hearing me when I call and answering me speedily. Please help me to make Your Word top priority in my life, so that I can be filled with the faith to always see You working in my favor in Jesus Name.
