Psalm 124:7-8 ‘Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth..’

DAILY READING; – John 9:24-41; 2 Chronicles 7; Malachi 4

In April 2012, a New York Police Department officer named Eder Loor, and his partner, responded to a distress call from a woman who said her schizophrenic son was off his medication and was acting crazy and needed to be hospitalized. The officers met the woman, outside of her apartment building and found her son in the lobby.

The officers then offered to escort the young man to the hospital, but he refused. As they were trying to persuade him, without any warning, he suddenly brought out a knife and stabbed Eder Loor in the temple, and then ran away.

The 3 1/2-inch knife blade went straight into Eder’s brain. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where doctors battled to save his life. His family was later told that Eder’s chances of survival were very slim, and even if he pulled through, he would end up brain dead, unable to ever walk or talk again. However after the neurosurgeon did all the x-rays, and the results came back, he was shocked!. The amazing thing was that the knife blade missed the part of Eder’s brain that controls motor skills by less than a millimeter. It missed the part of the brain that controls speech by less than a millimeter. It missed the main nerve that gives sensation by less than a millimeter. It missed the main artery that supplies blood to the brain by less than a millimeter. The doctors said it was unbelievable and said Eder was less than a millimeter away from death in every direction. The Surgeon said ‘A fraction this way, he’d be dead. A fraction this way, totally incapacitated”.

Two weeks later Eder Loor was out of the hospital. And one of his first destinations after leaving the hospital was to go to Church that Sunday, to thank God for His amazing grace that saved him from certain death.

Indeed God’s grace can be amazing. Eder had escaped death by a hair’s breadth on every side. Scientifically that was hard to comprehend, but it is how the grace of God operates, it beats logical reasoning and cannot be explained. Indeed God knows how to manipulate time and space in our favor to create a way of escape.

Grace is the tangible and undeniable hand of God that makes a way where there seems to be no way. It is the divine help of God that shows up when we are at our wit’s end. Indeed we serve a supernatural God who does wonders without number. No matter how tight the trap, God is able to deliver through grace.

And in this season, we need the grace of God more than ever before. With what is going on in the world right now, we need the grace of God to keep showing up for our deliverance.

While the pestilence and pandemic rages in Egypt, God’s grace will indeed make a way of escape for His people. Through the Blood of Jesus there will be a demarcation between God’s people and the Egyptians. When grace showed up in Goshen, God’s people escaped the plague of the death angel ravaging Egypt. And so shall it be for us in this season. Through the Blood of Jesus we shall escape every plague of these end-times in ways and manners that cannot be logically explained. In every tight situation, God will make a way for us where there seems to be no way. What the enemy meant for evil, God will turn it all around for our good.

it doesn’t matter how tightly the enemy may seem to have woven his nets or dug his pit, God will surely cause you to escape. It may seem right now as if there is no way out of that looming financial crisis, health challenge or family problems,

but trust God to show you the way out. Indeed the grace of God is sufficient for you.

We don’t qualify for God’s grace, it is His gift made possible by the Blood of Jesus. Through the price Jesus paid at Calvary we are today recipients of God’s grace. And this is why we can rest in His love and praise Him always, knowing that we are kept continually by His amazing grace.

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always escape every trap of the wicked in these end-times. No matter how difficult things may sometimes seem, please grant me the grace to always praise You in every situation in Jesus Name.
