What Can God Do In A Moment of Your Time?

Miracles usually happen through desperation.    Desperation is not the key to miracles, so just because we are desperate that does not qualify us for a miracle.  But desperation often precedes most miracles.   Daniel was in a desperate spot when God shut the mouth of the lion.  He had troubles and problems and daily prayed for deliverance, but the actual  miracle did not take place until the height of the conflict.   The Three Hebrew children were in desperation when they saw the fourth man in the fire and was delivered from the king's wrath.    Moses was in a moment of crisis when he received his miracle of the parting of the red sea.   Esther was in deep conflict with Haman when God came through for her and her nation.  

All of the above mentioned people served God and honored God faithfully all of their lives and yet somehow this service to God did not stop their life from coming to a point of crisis. I talk to people that get discouraged because they have served God and yet things still seem to get messed up.   Why did Joseph have so many problems?  why did Moses go through so many trials and test?  Why did Noah have to see the destruction of the whole world?   Just imagine a flood in your life time that wipes out everything and everyone except you and those that took shelter on your boat.  That is trauma right there, and yet, Noah served God.  

Just because bad things happen and things are going backwards does not mean that God has neglected you or failed you, or has not heard your prayers and cries for help.   In every situation you find yourself in remember that one moment Daniel was about to be lion food, and the next moment an angel was there to shut the lion's mouth.    In one moment the three Hebrew Children thought they would perish in a fiery furnace but in the next moment there was a fourth man in the fire and they did not burn.   In one moment there was a sea in front of Moses and an angry army behind  him, but in the next moment the sea parted and they escaped.  Never lose faith.  Never give up hope.  No matter how bleak your situation you are only one moment away from complete victory.   God's ways are not our ways...He doesn't stop us from going through the fire, but, he keeps the fire from destroying us.
