Psalm 34:5 says ‘‘They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.’
DAILY READING; Hebrews 9:23-10:18; Exodus 9:1-10:29; Proverbs 3
In 1947 a strange incident took place which astounded the world and firmly shut up the mouth of Bible critics. That year, God orchestrated an event that certainly unnerved the naysayers who had been questioning the authenticity of the Bible.
Before then, in the early 20th century, critics had been having a field day by claiming that the Bible was full of errors because there were no ancient scripts that supported its originality.
However in an unexpected turn of events, God made a Bedouin shepherd boy who was looking for his lost sheep to find the Bible’s ancient scripts. The shepherd boy had thrown stones into a cave where he thought the lost sheep might be hiding, but to his surprise what he heard was the echo of the stones hitting jars. Curios, he went into the cave. There he discovered ten tall jars with scrolls carefully placed in them.
This was the opening chapter to the astonishing discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. What is amazing is that those scrolls had been lying in that cave undisturbed for 1900 years! And just when it mattered most God caused these ancient scripts to be discovered. Their discovery would be one of the most important finds in the history of modern archaeology.
Amazingly, though these scripts were at least a thousand years older than the oldest Bible Script at that time, it was discovered that their words were the same words as those found in the modern Bibles. This indeed proved that there were no errors in the modern Bible, and it brought to a halt the argument of the naysayers.
Psalm 34:5 says ‘‘They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.’
We can always trust the faithfulness of God, He indeed knows how to defend His Name and how to defend His people.
Also in our lives, God knows how to show up at the right time and vindicate us in ways and manners that will utterly shut up our critics. He is indeed able to orchestrate events that will prove you before men. You can’t explain it, but suddenly God can do things that will put to shame your detractors and authenticate your testimony as a child of God. The truth is that those that put their trust in God are never put to shame.
Perhaps you have been believing God to vindicate you over certain issues. Though it may seem to be taking long, it doesn’t mean that it’s not going to happen. Just remain faithful and trusting, stay in faith and keep giving glory to God.
God has indeed seen every wrong that’s been done to you. He has seen every person that hurt you, every tear you shed, every lonely night and every injustice. And just like He vindicated the Bible through discovery of the ancient Scripts, God will arise and vindicate you because you are His child.
God is about to show up and do things in your life that will let men know that this can only be the finger of God. While they may be waiting for your downfall, God will suddenly lift you and prepare a table for you right in the presence of your enemies.
What was meant for evil, God will turn it all around to your advantage. God will open doors in your life that no man can shut. God will compress time in your favor and restore to you the lost years and establish your dream. As you continually praise Him in this season, He is going to take over your battles and fight for you and indeed give you certain victory.
PRAYER: Lord, Thank You for vindicating me and fighting my cause. Thank You Lord for Your good hand upon my life that is turning things around in my favor in Jesus Name.
