Exodus 13:19 (NASB) “…God will certainly take care of you…” Pete and Jan were doing well. He was running a successful small business while she looked after the three kids at home. Pete’s business was growing as new opportunities opened to him. Both are Biblebelieving Christians, acknowledging God in all they do. Then one day, all hell broke loose. Pete lost a large contract in which he had invested all their savings. Jan fell ill and found it increasingly difficult to care for the children. “Why, O Lord?” cried Pete. “What’s going on? I need help!” Pete and Jan’s story is common. A young couple finding their feet in life only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them. I’ve been there. Have you?
The Bible makes it clear that God knows the plans he has for you. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. He knows your situation right now and he will come to your rescue. We read that the enemy of our souls, Satan, prowls around like a lion seeking to devour us. Our battle is not against human forces but against demonic forces in the spiritual realm. Satan is intent on derailing you from the purposes of God.
Be strong and courageous, the Lord is with you. He is your helper. He will meet all your needs according to his magnificent riches in Jesus. He will certainly not abandon you but will surely take care of you. He knows how you got into this mess and he knows how you’ll get out of it. Your Lord is already on the other side of your tomorrow. So, stand together in the power of prayer and set your eyes on Jesus, trusting him as the author and perfector of your faith.
Read all about it! Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you.

“Dear Lord, help! I find myself in a right pickle. It seems all hell has broken loose against my family and me. And yet, O Lord, I know that you have triumphed over the forces of hell and made me more than a conqueror in Jesus. So, I stand strong now in prayer, rebuking the attack of Satan on my family and claiming your blessing, provision and protection. Amen!” — Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa Dudley Anderson began writing for radio in 1994.
