... on this very day
when the enemies of the Jews
hoped to gain
the mastery over them,
the reverse occurred...
Esther 9. 1
Even when things are
looking bleak,
unraveling,
heading over a cliff,
or our foes and fears
shouting at our door,
God does not just
turn the tide,
but shifts it into reverse
for His goodness
to conquer and prevail.
God brings about the possible
out of the impossible.
He turns the invisible
into the visible.
He resurrects what is dead
into new life.
God shows us
a different way in this.
He brings it about
and completes it,
often in unexpected ways.
Where we only anticipate defeat,
we can stake our lives
on His steady persevering
work in the unseen.
--Oswald Chambers
O LORD,
We seek You in our difficulties,
knowing that You are able
to conquer what terrifies us.
Help us to know
Your fundamental law of reversing,
be it circumstances,
hoards of invading forces,
or our fear of the dark
and unknown.
You have not abandoned us.
You are drawing us closer.
You are Master over this.
Show us Your way through,
even in one step today.
