How Can God Possibly Fix This?

Do you ever look at your problems and think there is no way to solve them—that even God is stuck this time? God does not look at your problems that way. He is a miracle-worker. Do not go around thinking He won’t work a miracle for you!

When Israel had enemies, God intervened. Sometimes the Israelite army had to fight and slay their enemies on the battlefield. But often God stepped in and delivered His people in amazing ways. In Numbers 26:10, Moses had to face a mutinous rebellion by the followers of Korah. God intervened:

“And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them along with Korah, whose followers died, when the fire consumed 250 men.”

The earth opened up and swallowed them! Can you imagine?!

Later, in Joshua 10:11, five kings brought their armies to fight Israel. God miraculously intervened:

“And the Lord confounded them before Israel…. As they fled from Israel, the Lord threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Asekah, and the died; there were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.”

God threw hailstones? What? I bet He never misses either!

Later, in Joshua 24:12, God reminds Israel of the way they defeated the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites. God miraculously intervened:

“I sent the hornet ahead of you, which drove them out before you. You did not do it with your own sword and bow. So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you eat from vineyards and olive groves you did not plant.”

I was attacked by dozens of bees while riding the lawn mower the other day. Let’s just say, it was not fun. But bees are nothing like hornets. IMAGINE! God sent HORNETS! He gave the earth a mouth and it swallowed people? He threw hailstones? Hornets! Let’s face it—your God is a miracle worker. Never doubt that. Never think that you are on your own. Prayer works. Seeking God works.

“The Lord is a warrior, the Lord is His name.” Exodus 15:3. Talk to Him about your problems right now. He will fight for you!
