Victory Belongs To Him

The story of the 3 Hebrew men is such a beautiful depiction of the glory of God. When I read that story for the first time, I immediately concluded that the fire was DEFINITELY going to turn them into charred meat. What i failed to realise is fire itself was created by God. So as much as the fire was created or intended to kill and destroy the boys, in this case but the fire understood that its creator is commanding that these men will leave this fire. Not only will they leave this fire but they will leave it, unharmed!! It even says in verse 27, “… who had not been harmed by the fire. Their hair was not singed, their clothes were not burned, and there was no smell of smoke on them.” Another example is Moses when he parted the Red Sea. The power wasn’t the staff he held in his hand or Moses’s might but the sea obeyed its Creator!!!!!!! We all know the sea has barriers. There’s a starting point and an end point, that God commanded himself, during the time of creation in Genesis but when the Israelites had to pass, through Moses, God commanded the sea to part and the sea obeyed its creator!! All in all brethren, we need to understand that even the circumstances that surround our lives and at times consume us, at some point will bow to God. I think our biggest challenge as believers is that we make the trials and tribulations that we go through, our own. We take ownership and say “ohh this problem of mine, Ohh one thing about me I will lie, etc…” of which these trials and tribulations, at some point, when God approves, will bow at the sound of the trumpets because they have no business being in our lives forever. We need to understand that God governs our lives and whatever he speaks over us, no one will ever say otherwise because everything - nature, the animals, the elements of the Earth, US!! Submit to him. Amen.
