Shut The Mouths Of The Lions
There are certain happenings in our lives that look as if
God is far away from us and cannot possibly be letting what is happening to us
to happen. We must understand that if indeed we are children of God, everything
that happen to us is not per chance but all orchestrated to showcase the power
and glory of God in our lives. Someone once remarked that why should God allow
certain things to happen to us first before rescuing us from them. At the same
time we must not forget that He equally rescues us before the things actually
happen. That is HIS way. To understand this further, Jesus Christ taught us a
model of prayer thus: “…And do not bring
us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one…” (Matthew
6:13a). This means He can deliver us before we enter into the problem or allow
us to enter the problem and then deliver us from the problem. The prerogative is
His. You might ask why. This is so because He wants His glory to be fully
showcased in the situation and in our lives…
