Warriors Arise: June 6, 2023
Matthew 2:14-15 When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, 15 and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
God already knows Joseph, Mary and the Child need to escape. He is not surprised when the wise men went to Jerusalem and tipped off Herod. He knows what Herod will do. He already had a prophet prophesy over this event. The trip to Egypt had to happen. It had to happen fulfill Scripture. Why is that so important?
God already knows what you are going to need to get you to a safe place. God created each one of us with His purpose inside of us. He sets things in motion so we recognize He is working things out for our good. When things are worked out for our good, He receives the glory. When things are rough like the waters in the ocean the seem like they are going to take you under, God comes and lifts you up. He makes sure your head is above water. He sends someone to come find you or gives you the strength to swim.
God knew Herod's heart. He knew Herod would not stop. He also wanted Scripture to be fulfilled. It isn't for His benefit nor that He wanted His Son's life in danger. Scripture being fulfilled, validated, confirms, and magnifies the accuracy of God's Word, the Bible. So many people read very little of the Bible and then want to make their own assessment from a point of view that is lacking information. We read the Bible to get to know God, how He responded to His people, provided, protected, strengthened and called them His own. He sacrificed His Son for them, the false accusers.
God already knew Joseph needed to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt. It was all a part of God's plan. In your life, can You trust God is already at work, aligning things for your protection? Can you see He is providing for you? Can you go where He tells you to go? Are you responding quickly to the instructions He has given you? When you hear about something the first time, God has already heard and has the answer. He is not shocked by the information you and I are just becoming aware of. He already knows and has an answer.
Father, I find peace in knowing You are ahead of me. You are already in my tomorrow. When I get there, You have the answer for me. Understanding this, allows me to turn to You immediately to hear Your solution. I trust You. Your love is amazing. You have never failed me. You have provided time and time again. You have protected over and over again. Your joy strengthens me, Your love empowers me and Your peace calms every storm. I will turn to You and listen, because You already know what I need. I ask and You provide the way through and I rise again in Jesus' name amen.
