The Lord has done Great things
“When the Lord brought the prisoners back to Jerusalem, it seemed as if we were dreaming. Then we were filled with laughter and we sang happy songs. Then the other nations such the Lord have done great things for them. The Lord has done great things for us and we are very glad”. (Psalm 126: 1-3)
Our God is the Almighty God. He is doing great things in our daily life. When difficulties occur in the life, many are perplexed and not being able to overcome. The Lord does great things for his children and delivers them from their sufferings and difficulties.
First of all, the Lord will do great things to change the bitterness. Widow Naomi lost her two sons in young age. Their wives became widows. Naomi said, “The almighty God has dealt very bitterly with me” (Ruth 1: 20). The Lord made widow Ruth marry Boaz and blessed her with a boy child. Her bitterness has been changed and happiness was formed in her life. “The Lord has done great things to Naomi” (Ruth 4:13, 14).
Secondly, the Lord will do great things to take away fear. When the people of Israel were delivered from the Egyptian bondage and were going to Canaan, the Red Sea was on the way. The host of Pharaoh was coming after them. The people cried to the Lord. Through Moses, God divided the Red sea and the made the Israelites cross the sea. When the host of Pharaoh was on the midway in the sea, the water returned and they were destroyed. This great thing took away their fear; they put their trust in the Lord. “The Lord has done great things to His own people” (Exodus 14: 31).
Finally, the Lord will do great things for removing our sickness and weakness. “Jesus saw a woman who had a spirit of infirmity and was bent over and could not straighten up at all. Jesus called her and took away her weakness and made her straight” (Luke 13: 11-14). The woman was healed and removed from all her infirmities. She was very happy to receive the Lord’s blessing.
Dear friends, our God is an almighty God to change our bitterness, fear and all infirmities. We can walk in fear of the Lord, we can obey the word of God and we can make our supplication to Him. Definitely we will be free from sickness, weakness and all our infirmities.
The Lord will do great things in our life.
