"Yet doth he
[God] devise means.”
Many times when we think only a miracle will get us out of our dilemma, the
means is staring us straight in the face, right under our nose, as they say. We
see this illustrated in the book of Judges. It may be an ox-goad, a nail, a barley cake, a pitcher and trumpet, a piece of a millstone, or the jaw-bone
of an ass. Look and see what’s around you, what’s available. It may be a means
to a miracle!
We
need to heed the preaching of the old Puritan: “Man cannot do anything without
God; but God will not do anything without man.” Man is God’s means to
accomplish His purpose on earth. Paul said of himself that he used “all means” to fulfill God’s purpose in
building up His Kingdom.
God promises to make my bed in all my
sickness, but He uses loved ones or a nurse to do it.
(R.D.S)
