Saved by God's powerful hand

We see the mighty hand of God many times at work. We all have heard or know of people whom doctors pronounce incurable; yet, when his people pray, God brings about a miraculous healing. Think of how a person without peace, in search of meaning and purpose, finds peace and finds God, because he was found by Jesus Christ, his Saviour! In these situations, and many others that you can think of, we see the Lord's mighty hand at work.
It is on occasions like these that our own eyes see that God reigns over all: over death and sickness, over sin and evil and Satan, over his enemies and ours.

Exodus 15: 13 "In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.

The greatest and most glorious deliverance of God is the salvation through Christ Jesus. At the cross, God in his unfailing love did not spare the life of Jesus, his Son, in order to save you and me by his strenghth. And, to remember this great act of deliverance God has given us his Word, his sacraments, his Church.

May you be blessed when you cry out to our Lord and you are saved and delivered by his mighty hand – and by his divine love.
