Psalm 102:13-16 ‘Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.’

DAILY READING –John 8:1-20; 2 Chronicles 1:1-2:16; Zechariah14

During World War II, Hitler’s army planned to round up the Jews in Denmark on October 1, 1943, and apply the ‘Final Solution’ to them..
But what rather took place has come to be known as the miracle of the Oresund. The Oresund is the narrow river separating Denmark and Sweden.
Across this river, the people of Denmark helped many Jews in their country to escape to Sweden.
Surprisingly, at the helm of this rescue operation was a German officer named Georg Ferdinand Duckwitz. He was serving in Denmark at that time and after learning of Hitler’s evil plan, he risked his life to help the Jews escape. He was the highest-ranking German officer to be involved directly in the rescue of Jews during the war.
Putting his career and even his life on the line, Duckwitz began frenzied campaign to rally the people of Denmark to save the Jews.
In September 1943, the German army began arriving in Denmark to round up the Jews and put them in ships that would take them to concentration camps where most would die. But before the German army could begin the round-up, the people of Denmark moved quickly, and over the next few days, smuggled their Jewish neighbors to Sweden. Secretly, they made more than 700 trips across the river Oresund, to take the Jews to safety..
Due to this, 99% of Danish Jews survived the war.
Indeed the Jews in Denmark enjoyed amazing favor from their host country.
Georg Duckwitz, the German officer who organized the rescue, was later honored by the nation of Israel. On 21 March 1971, the Israeli government named him Righteous Among the Nations and included him in the Yad Vashem memorial.

It is truly amazing that a highly placed German officer like Duckwitz , would intervene to save the Jews who were considered the enemies of his country. Certainly, when it is God’s set time to favor you, even your enemies can be used to bless you.
Sometimes we may worry about how we are going to survive, or how we are going to get through certain situations, but we have to learn to trust in God’s divine mercy. God is not limited in how He will save us. He can raise help for you from strange quarters. He can use the least expected people to come to your aid.
Just as the ravens fed prophet Elijah, God can use unconventional ways and most unlikely people to meet your needs.
God cares for us more than we can ever care for ourselves. This is why Apostle Peter writes ‘Cast all your anxiety upon Him for He cares for you.’
As long as you sincerely serve God, you don’t have to worry about how your provisions will come. God can assist you even through people who were meant to resist you.
Truly, God has our lives well-ordered in His hands.

Isaiah 49:15-16 says ‘Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;’

In this month of May, it is indeed God’s set time to favor us. In this new season of mercy and favor, we shall be experiencing inexplicable miracles, signs and wonders.
Everything that has been a set-back and a hindrance is about to turn around for your good. Help will arise for you from strange quarters. In the place of frustration God is bringing forth joy and laughter. God will cause doors of breakthrough to open up to you, crooked places shall be made straight and the hidden riches of secret places shall be given to you.
Let us therefore keep blessing the Lord at all times throughout this month, because He is set to move supernaturally in our favour and take us to glorious new heights.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the good plans You have for me this month. I know that even right now Your grace, favor and mercy are at work in my life to take me to glorious new heights in Jesus Name.
