♥ GOD Is Not Dead!

Thus says The LORD, ... Is MY Hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? - Isaiah 50:1, 2.
I have surely seen the oppression of my people, ...I have heard their groaning. - Acts 7:34.

The famous black American leader, Frederick Douglas (1818-1895), a former slave, made a moving speech in Boston, when the situation of the colored people was part critical: "We can't go to Africa ; it wouldn't solve our problem. We can't g to Canada, the climate doesn't suit us . And here, deprived of all our rights, we are intimidated and ill-treated.

When he sat down, there was an overpowering silence. Then an elderly lady, worn out by work, stood up and asked loudly, "Frederick, is GOD dead then?" Murmurings of hope wen through the hall. A light had been lit and the dark picture painted by Douglas had vanished. Through that woman's question everyone's attention was fixed on the power of The Sovereign GOD who can thoroughly change any situation, whatever it is, and respond to the most difficult questions.

Doesn't this resemble our life when we see worries piling up like clouds before the storm?  Are we so preoccupied by an inextricable situation that discouragement overcomes us? Let us turn our thoughts to our faithful GOD. Let us remember that HE loves us and is omnipotent. For all our problems HE has unexpected solutions, and whatever HE does, or fails to do, HE wishes to fill us with unlimited peace. The apostle Paul wrote: "HE said to me,  MY grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness", (2 Corinthians 12:9).
