God's Act of Rescue

UV 3731/10000 God’s Act of Rescue “They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you, ” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 1 v 19 Those who are living in the light of God and doing what is right always face attacks and assaults from the enemy. The powers of darkness attack from all directions but He who is greater, more powerful, victorious over death and darkness lives in us. He promises to fight for us. He is with us in every situation and He promises to rescue us. He provides the way of escape, that we might endure trials and tribulations, tests and temptations. We only need to take a position, a stance of faith, resting on His promise of help, of victory. We only need to brace ourselves even as He embraces us in His protective care. God, the Father allowed His beloved Son Jesus to embrace death so that death and sin cannot have a claim on us, so that the claim of justice, of due payment for sin is paid fully and finally. Of course, , many followers of Jesus have also suffered for His Name, for their beliefs. But as a rule, the Lord cares for us as the apple of His eye. But we should not act as if we are the apple tree of independence, of disobedience. We should not like Adam and Eve aspire to be like God in His power and awe. We should rest our faith only on His word, rest our faith in His shed blood. This is the stance that will transform all circumstances into victory for us and glory for Him. The Lord will fight for us and wrest victory for us. We only need to remain still or faithful and composed. We should not lose the peace and joy of salvation in these difficult moments when we are under attack. We should know God is working behind the scenes and discern behind the outer skein of circumstances, His hand obtaining victory for us. Life is never a picnic but there is no need to panic. God is in control even when He does not seem to be present in our situation. We need to be both eager to see His grace manifest in our situations as well as patient to wait till it happens. During the period of waiting, we should show no signs of frustration, desperation, depression but hold onto the promise, keep praying and praising God in anticipation of what He is going to do as if He has already done it.
