Psalm 20 1 [NIV]‘May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion.’

DAILY READING; John 5:1-18; 1 Chronicles 18-19; Zechariah7

In 2018, Media outlets in Finland reported the story of 70 years old pastor Mika Forsman, who was miraculously saved from freezing to death.
On Sunday, February 25, 2018, he was all alone in his isolated cottage near the lake, as his family had travelled to London for a few days. Wearing only slippers, lounge pants, and a T-shirt, he briefly stepped outside in sub-zero temperatures. While on the stairs, he accidentally slipped and fell face-down to the ground, and broke his hip.
He found his legs and hands could barely move and he was unable to get up. All alone, he faced the danger of freezing to death without anyone coming to his rescue because his cottage was in an isolated area where people hardly walked outside during winter.
But instead of panicking, pastor Mika Forsman began praying silently, asking God to deliver him. As his body cooled quickly and his clothes froze to the ground, he started to shout for help but got no answer.
His dog who had followed him out began to bark furiously.
Pastor Forsman kept on praying and shouting. After many minutes, just when he felt he was about to pass out because of the cold, he saw a couple approaching the cottage. This couple had been on the opposite shore of the Lake but crossed the ice, attracted by the pastors voice.
They covered the pastor with some clothes and alerted an ambulance. First responders cut off Forsman’s frozen clothes and covered him with a thermal blanket, he was then rushed to a nearby Hospital, where he received treatment and later recovered.
While speaking to the media, the pastor expressed his surprise at how unlikely it was for that couple to have been outside in sub-zero weather on that Sunday morning to rescue him. He told the media “No doubt, we have a living God who hears prayers!”

Indeed God’s ears are always open to the cry of the righteous.
In desperate situations and moments where there seems to be no way, God can miraculously raise help for us. God is always our way maker and our bridge over troubled waters.
Despite, the roaring sea, somehow He will create a path of escape through the mighty waters.

God says in Psalm 91:15 “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.’

Because we know the Name of the Lord, in the times of trouble He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will always show up for our rescue.
He didn’t leave Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fire, He came as the 4th man and brought them out. He didn’t leave Daniel in the lion’s den, He closed the lions’ mouths and rescued him. He didn’t leave Paul and Silas in the prison, He caused an earthquake and opened the prison doors.
In the same way, God will not leave us nor forsake us in times of trouble.
Each time the enemy tries to get you into a fix, and it seems you are cut off from help, always remember that you serve the God who is a miracle-worker. Though the enemy may tell you there’s no way of escape, trust God to turn things around, and use that adversity to advance your destiny. God will turn around for you what the enemy meant for evil.
God will send you help from Zion, even people you don’t know will come to your aid.
Truly, there is no mountain that God cannot move, no sea that He cannot dry up, and no Jordan that He cannot drive back for your sake.
Therefore rather than panic, switch to prayers and rather than worry, start to worship. Instead of fretting over negative situations, let us keep blessing the Lord at all times because He is at work in our lives.
As we praise Him, there will be a sudden shift in our circumstances. We will see miraculous turnarounds, inexplicable wonders and sudden divine deliverances.
Certainly, it is our season to experience speedy deliverance through the Blood of Jesus. No matter how tough any situation we may face, surely, we have overcome by the Blood and by the Word of our testimony.

PRAYER: Father, I praise You for always causing me to triumph in every circumstance through the Blood of Jesus. Thank You Lord for being my way-maker and miracle worker in Jesus’ Name.
