Dr. Harry Ironside stands out as one of the greatest Christian leaders of the 19th century. He was greatly respected and recognized as “America’s most popular expositor”. Interestingly this great man came from very humble beginnings. His father died when he was only a toddler and his family suffered great poverty.
At 14 years old, Harry accepted Christ as his Saviour, and after he finished with grammar school, his only desire was to tell others of Christ. For a while he worked with the Salvation Army, testifying and singing in their meetings and became known as “The Boy Preacher of Los Angeles.” At 22 years old, Harry Ironside stepped out by faith into fulltime ministry, and began preaching wherever he had opportunity—on street corners, in missions, in the desert towns.
Supported by no organization, he learned of absolute dependence upon God for every need. One night, he had no single money left on him, but he prayed and told God he needed 40 cents for food the next day. Then, he went out to preach on a street corner. After his message two men followed him and spoke to him. As they left they shook hands with him. In his palm when he opened it were three dimes and two nickels!
A life of prayers and diligent study of God’s Word, eventually made him to become one of the most capable and prominent preachers and spiritual giant of his generation. He was pastor of Chicago’s famous moody memorial church and was a prolific writer, whose books positively affected many lives for Christ.
When our hope is in God, despite the disadvantages of life, He will give us a divine turnaround. It can be tempting to fret and worry over our future, especially when there seems to be no human helper, but when we diligently seek God, He will become our Helper, our Source and Sustainer. God is the One that gives meaning to our lives. In Genesis 1, in the beginning Life had no meaning, everything was void, dark and in confusion, but as soon as God stepped in, Heaven and earth began, everything was formed.
Our lives can never remain void, when God steps into our affairs. God is the Hope of the hopeless, and He wants us to depend on Him at every crossroad in life. It can be easy to make projections based on our own strength or human connections. But while the arm of flesh will often fail, God’s faithfulness never fails.
Certainly, with God on our side, we will never be stranded or suffer stagnation in life. By His grace nothing will hinder our breaking forth to glorious new levels. It is our time to move from the back to the front, from pain to power, from sorrow to joy, from sickness to health, from weakness to strength and from obscurity to prominence. Therefore, let us keep walking in faith and keep glory to God for the great and mighty things He is set to do in our lives.
PRAYER: Lord, Please help me to know that Your grace is always sufficient for me and in every situation, You are able to make a way for me and bless me beyond measure in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: God’s word is God’s ‘prescription’ for every area of your life, let God’s word fix that situation in your life.” – WORDBITE 222.
