God Will Make a Way
By Integrity Music

The Lord's arm is not too short to save us from evil. Indeed, we are often saved from calamities when we don't even realize we are in danger.

The Lord protects us. Corrie ten Boom knew that truth well.

In her book, The Hiding Place, she tells of the tense period in Holland during the German invasion in the 1940s. On one particular night, Corrie tossed and turned in her bed while war planes roared overhead, shattering the blackness with artillery shells. Her sister, Betsie, also struggling with sleeplessness, decided the remedy was a cup of tea. When Corrie heard her sister in the kitchen, she arose and joined her. They drank tea and talked as shells exploded nearby. Finally the night became still again, and they decided to return to their beds.

Before lying down, Corrie reached out to pat her pillow. She felt something sharp cut her hand and discovered a jagged piece of metal about ten inches long. She cried out for her sister and immediately raced down the stairs with the shrapnel shard in her hand.

As Betsie bandaged Corrie's hand, she said repeatedly in awe, "On your pillow." Corrie responded, "Betsie, if I hadn't heard you in the kitchen...." Betsie interrupted, "Don't say it, Corrie! There are no 'ifs' in God's world. The center of His will is our safety."

Corrie later proclaimed this truth to millions in her book: "God's will is our hiding place."

The Lord's arm is not too short to save us from evil. Indeed, we are often saved from calamities when we don't even realize we are in danger. Thank the Lord today for His saving power. Praise Him for the many times He has rescued you, comforted you, and raised you up. Praise Him for sparing you from the snare of the enemy countless times in the past and future, even as you believe for Him to deliver you from the enemy's stronghold today.

"Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength" (Psalm 89:15-17, NKJV).
