Charles Richard Hillis was the youngest American missionary candidate ever accepted by the China Inland Mission (CIM). At the age of 20, he went to serve in China. A few years later he got married and began living with his wife and two children in the inland town of Shenkiu. Soon after the Japanese army invaded China. At that crucial time, Hillis developed appendicitis, and had to be rushed to a faraway hospital on January 15, 1941.
His wife Margaret was left alone with their children. As the Japanese army approached, the residents of their town had to evacuate.
Margaret had a one-year-old son and two-month-old baby girl. She feared they might not survive as refugees. So she stayed put and stayed focused on God’s Word. She had a Scriptural wall calendar, and when she looked at it the next morning, the new day’s Scripture was Psalm 56:3—“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.”
After all the townspeople evacuated that day, Margaret felt abandoned. The next morning the verse on the calendar was Psalm 9:10—“Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” The next morning she arose to distant sounds of gunfire and worried about food for her children.
The calendar verse was Genesis 50:21—“I will nourish you and your little ones.” Suddenly that morning an old woman came to their house with a pail of steaming goat’s milk, and later another stranger arrived with a basket of eggs. Throughout the day, sounds of warfare grew louder. By the next morning Margaret saw the day’s verse was Psalm 56:9—“When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back.”
Though Japanese invasion had seemed imminent, by the next morning, surprisingly all was quiet. Soon the townspeople began returning with the news that the Japanese had inexplicably withdrawn their troops and the danger had passed. Margaret realized that through the calendar , God had been speaking to her and had fulfilled His Words.

As long as we remain connected to God’s Word, though we may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will always emerge triumphant. As we keep looking into His Word, we will never suffer defeat or shame.

Psalm 34:5 says, ‘‘They looked unto Him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.’

The more we look to Jesus, through His Word the more we will have the faith to overcome any situation. Faith in God gives us the tenacity to withstand any trial and not run away from the battle. Faith in God made David take a sling and go after Goliath, when the whole army of Israel was running away from him.
Certainly, no battle is impossible for anyone who has faith. Isaiah 59:19 says when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God will lift up a standard against him. The standard the Spirit lifts is the Word of God. In times of trial, He quickens Scriptures to our heart that enables us to keep persevering until our victory comes.
There is deliverance power and wonder-working power in the Word. Even in situations where things may look hopeless or there seems to be no way out, always be assured that Jesus is always the way-maker and miracle worker. Today, let us keep praising and blessing Him for His faithfulness. By His grace we will certainly triumph always and be more than conquerors over every challenge.

PRAYER:
Lord, please help me to always focus on your Word and your promises over my life. I know that you are in perfect control of every situation I may face and as I continue to praise you, you will exceed all my expectations in Jesus’ Name.
