ODB: God Is At Work
January 23, 2011
Seeing God at work puts a song in our heart.
READ: Exodus 14:26–15:2
He is my God, and I will praise Him. —Exodus 15:2
Jack and Trisha were driving to the hospital late one night for the birth of their second child when the unexpected happened. Trisha began to deliver the baby! Jack called 911 and Cherie White, an emergency dispatcher, was able to talk Jack through the delivery. But the baby wouldn’t breathe. So Cherie then instructed Jack how to give emergency breathing, which he had to do for 6 anxious minutes. Finally the newborn took a breath and cried. When asked later how they all got through the ordeal and remained calm, Cherie responded, “I’m glad God works midnights!”
I love to hear media reports in which God gets the glory He deserves for something good that has happened. In the Bible reading for today, it’s obvious that God should get the credit for parting the Red Sea to help His people escape from Pharaoh, even though Moses was the one who raised his rod (Ex. 14:26-27). All the Israelites and Moses gathered together and sang the Lord’s praises: “Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” (15:11).
When something good happens, the Lord deserves the credit, for He is the source of all that is good. Give Him the glory. Aren’t you glad He works midnights?

By Isaac Tan, 20, Singapore Standing and peering through a small crevice between the door and the wall, I stood there in utter anticipation to hear what this individual was saying.

Our God is truly an amazing God, not only does He works at midnight..the truth is our God never stop working..Awesome God, may His name continue to be glorified throughout the entire universe.
I have experienced God’s help so many times that i have lost count of His divine intervention during my time of crisis and emergency..all that i know is that God had promised never to leave us nor will He ever forsake us.
I may have sin at times even though i’m a follower of Jesus but He is always fast to forgive and slow to anger. Words truly cannot expressed how thankful i am to our mighty God, He’s just to great and awesome.
Rest assured that whatever happened, God is always watching from above and though we may feel that He is not helping us out sometimes during our most difficult times, don’t be despair for our God works in ways that we will never understand. I know its easier said than done but then again, i have experienced God’s grace to me all my life and just want to share it out so that we know that we can always count on Him…Amen
