The Overwhelming Power of God

UV 3613/10000 The Overwhelming Power of God He who has dug a pit and hollowed it out, and has fallen into the (very) pit which he made (as a trap). Psalm 7 v 15 The wicked are pregnant with sin and plot mischief and give birth to lies against the righteous by faith. They dig pits against them but the Lord promises to cause them to fall into the very pit they had dug to trap the latter. The stone that they roll on others will roll back on them and crush them. Their mischief will return to their own heads. Joseph’s brothers in their jealous hatred against Joseph plotted to kill him and then sold him into slavery but the Lord was with him in the pit and in the prison and raised him out of both wonderfully and miraculously. Many centuries later, when the twelve brothers descendants grew to be the nation of Israel, The Egyptian army that pursued the unarmed Israelites were drowned in the waters of the Red Sea as they were in hot pursuit. The Lord will rescue us from those who unjustly pursue us. The Lord will mete out justice to us. He establishes those who are in right standing with Him. Our ten fingers are merged with His as we bow and kneel in prayer and seek to find our refuge, our defence in Him. He sends five types of angels to defend, protect and rescue us. He silences and closes the mouths of the lions, our adversaries. He closed the jaws of the lions when Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den. Even a hair on his head was not harmed. God defended Daniel as he was blameless before him. He was also blameless before the king. The king Darius desired with all his heart that Daniel be saved from the consequences of his own signed edict or order. Darius fasted that night for Daniel and prayed that the God whom he served would rescue him. Even the king expected God to save Daniel. Daniel had committed no crime. He was guiltless, innocent and vindicated by the miraculous hand of salvation of the Lord. Instead, the wicked men who had maliciously accused Daniel were brought and thrown into the den along with their families. The event led to the God of Daniel being exalted through all the dominions of the kingdom of Persia. Darius himself acknowledged God by saying He is the living God, enduring and steadfast forever with a kingdom that is indestructible and power that lasts forever. He is the One who rescues, saves and performs signs and wonders. Daniel prospered and enjoyed remarkable success in successive regimes, even in the reign of Cyrus.
