"Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses" (Psalms 107:28).
Divine intervention always leads to divine lifting. God cannot intervene in a man's situation and leave the man the way He met him. If you have called on God to intervene in your situation, get ready for a definite improvement because when God steps into any matter, He does so with His transforming power.
The children of Israel were once in bondage in the land of Egypt. As slaves, they were severely oppressed and afflicted. Their earnest cry to God provoked heaven's intervention. That intervention did not leave the Hebrews in Egypt. Rather, it lifted them out of bondage into the land of liberty - the Promised Land.
The Scripture talks about people who do business on the sea. Faced with the typical storms and turbulence of the sea, they cried unto the Lord in their troubles. The Bible reports that God intervened in His faithfulness. But true to His manner of doing things, that intervention did not leave those mariners on the sea. God brought them out of their distresses and settled them in "their desired haven" (Psalms 107:30).
While He walked through this earth as man, Jesus intervened in the situation of many people. Some specifically sought His intervention while others were beneficiaries of sheer divine mercy. But in all cases, all who encountered Jesus never remained the same. The sick were lifted out of infirmity when they encountered Jesus. When Jesus intervened in the affairs of those who were oppressed by demonic forces, total deliverance always followed.
Today, God's transforming power is still available. Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). His intervention is still guaranteed to lead to positive transformation. God's power is looking for someone to lift. The Spirit of Him who went about doing good, healing all who are oppressed of the devil is still moving around, seeking for someone to bless (Acts 10:38). God wants to help you out of your distresses. He wants to lift you up above your troubles. I pray that today, His power shall locate you, address the specific issues of your life and take you to the heights you could have never dreamed of. Amen!
