And David said,

"God has broken through

my enemies by my hand,

like a bursting flood."

Therefore the name

of that place is called

     Baal-perazim.

          1 Chronicles 14. 11

(Baal-perazim literally means

   "the Lord of breaking through."

He is the God of

     breaking through,

the God of

     supernatural intervention,

the God who specializes

     in impossible situations.

It is not that God

       will lead me through this.

   He is already leading me through.

   He has gone out before me.

There are no random encounters,

no interruptions,

no insignificant tasks,

no meaningless details.

In all things,

  He makes Himself known.

We are called by Him

          to Him

   for His glory.

Even in this.)

O LORD,

You are the God of

    breaking through

    the tight places

which we cannot understand,

where we cannot stand

               without You.

Help us not just

      to see Your hand,

but to seek You,

and acknowledge You,

neither ignore

   nor explain You away.

Help us to pray

   for Your divine intervention

even in this.

Help us not to be overwhelmed

             by circumstances

but overwhelmed by Your majesty,

       empowered by You.

If I knew You were here,

    I would not be afraid.

You are.
