Jeremiah 31:3 ‘The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.’
DAILY READING – Revelation 7; Nehemiah 9:38-10:39; Psalm 102
Iris Global is a Christian non-profit organization with over 35 bases in 20 nations. Liz Gliem works as a missionary with the organization and in a recent ministry update in April 2023, she shared a remarkable story of what happened on their location in Mozambique.
One day, early in the morning, a woman and her sister arrived at their farm in Mozambique seeking help. Gliem and her missionary team learned from the woman that ISIS insurgents had killed her husband during an attack on their village and kidnapped her and her one-year-old son.
After being captive in an ISIS camp for 11 months,, she and her sister with her little son had made a daring escape.
They ran for miles through the forest until they met a military team who picked them up in their trucks and helped them to escape.
As she described the soldiers to the missionaries, at first they thought she was talking about the Rwandan army, which had made incursions into that part of Mozambique. But when she said they were giants, at least nine-feet tall, and had white bulletproof armor on, the missionaries knew that couldn’t have been the Rwanda military which wears all-black. Moreover there were no nine-feet tall soldiers operating in African jungle zones who wear white bulletproof armor. It dawned on the missionaries that the giant soldiers must have been warrior angels that manifested themselves to the escaping women and led them to safety! Though these women were not Christians, God in His infinite mercy had delivered them and brought them to the missionary team, who took care of them and later led them to Christ.
It is amazing how the mercy of the Lord can locate even sinners and lead them to salvation in miraculous ways. We are all partakers of this inexplicable grace and mercy of God.
Many of us can testify of experiencing God’s goodness and miraculous deliverables even while we were yet sinners.
So many times God kept us and gave His angels charge over us.
It is humbling to know that when we were defenseless, when the enemy had every opportunity to have destroyed us, God miraculously preserved us because of His love for us.
Jeremiah 31:3 says ‘The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.’
Romans 5; 8 says that God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners..
Now that we are in Christ, we can be sure that God has not brought us this far to leave us. Certainly the good thing He has begun in our lives He is able to complete it. This should encourage us to always trust God in every situation, to bless Him at all times and celebrate His faithfulness.
If He showed us so much mercy and love while we were separated from Him, certainly He has far more greater goodness laid up for us now we are His sons and daughters.
Though we may not sometimes see the full picture, we can always trust that God has not called us to seek Him vain. As we walk in obedience to His plan and purpose, certainly, He will do for us exceedingly abundantly above all we could ever ask, think or imagine.
PRAYER: Lord please grant me the grace to praise You at all times. I know Your thoughts towards me are always good and even right now You are working out things in my favor in Jesus Name.
