God was, He is and is yet to come. He is everlasting and never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. An ever present help in our time of need.
I love to read the Books of old, about how God saved the Israelites from the Egyptians. I enjoy reading about Daniel in the Lion's den and about the three Hebrew boys who just cooled off in a hot and burning furnace. I get amazed at how the walls of Jericho fell, and about how the sun stood still. I wish I had the privilege to taste the Heavenly manna that fell. Whenever I read about these testimonies and more, they bring home how great God is.
It is easier to know of the power of God from afar, but when you come face to face with lions in the natural, it is up to you to exercise your faith and experience God and His reality. Often times we shout and sing loudly about how we believe and trust in God. Just then, we receive one bad news after the other, and our faith comes tumbling down.
Have we ever wondered how Daniel faced the lions? His heart might have been pounding. He may have said his last prayers , knowing it was his end. Or he may have been singing praises in the midst of persecution. Have you considered how ridiculous Abraham had looked as he kept believing a promise seemingly not feasible. Have you ever imagined David as he faced Goliath? He was not in an armour and bore no weapon - ridiculous!
All of these Generals of old accomplished these feats because of their simple faith in God. To them, God was real in their time and lives. God is still alive, and is the same, His wonders to perform if only we shall believe. Jesus was not able to work many miracles in His hometown because they did not believe - Matthew 13:53-58.
God wants us to experience more of His Power and miracles. The only obstacle is unbelief. If we walk in faith, we shall daily see His miraculous power at work in our lives. He is God of today, He is the same, He never changes. He still heals, delivers, works wonders, provides miraculously, heals the dead and saves!
Will you allow God to continue to write the story of His Generals of faith with your life?
