FAITH CAPSULE: In the past months to the coming months, the hand of God is not short to deliver and preserve.

Daniel 1

In this wicked world, disallow challenges from denying you from maintaining your focus upon the hand of God. As a result of the fact that your expectation of last month did not manifest, it is never too late for the manifestation of the coming months. In this wicked world, we are to keep focus on God by hoping on the hand of God that is not short for intervention. God is a merciful God that does not sleep or slumber. God does not overlook His children but shall respond at an appointed time. Time is in the hand of God but only clock can be turned back and forward by man. In the past months to the coming months, the hand of God is not short to deliver and preserve, look upon the hand of God.

Isaiah 50:2 recorded encouraging word of God, “Why, when I came, was there no man? Why, when I called, was there none to answer? Is My hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Indeed with My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink because there is no water, and die of thirst.” The word of Isaiah 59:1 also buttressed the grace of God’s hand that is not shortened stating, “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.”
Can you see in the above word that the hand of God is worthy to look upon regardless of wicked world?
Imagine how a young captive Daniel was able to maintain his believe in the God of his father despite the fact that life placed him in the hand of Nebuchadnezzar at a young age. Daniel refused all that could deny his focus on God while in captivity. At one point, “Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” (Daniel 1:8) As a captive, Daniel’s challenges did not set him up against his God but positioned him for promotion from level to level.
What is your stubborn challenge in the past month? This day, be encouraged, be rest assured on the hand of God that is not short. God’s hand is not short to deliver and preserve His children in the coming month.
In the time of challenges, Daniel’s promotion could not be denied because the hand of God was not short for Daniel. Despite Daniel’s promotion, Daniel ended up in the den of lion. However, the lion received promotion because lions refused not to touch Daniel’s life. The promotion of lion’s consumption was the families of Daniel’s enemies that attended Daniel’s life.

Prayer for today: Ask for the agents of the evil in your life to become consumption for lions.
