1- The Lord will :
To trust in God need humility and Faith :
To accept that all tests and all sufferings come from God who has control on every circumstance.
So I've no reason to be afraid because I am a son of God and my Lord knows my future.
Only the Lord's will has to command us - christians, neither anarchy nor democracy.

2- Prayer gives peace :
We don't need peaceful situation to rest. It depends especially on our soul. David, the king, was surrounded by ennemies, but he could write : " My soul finds rest in God alone " ( Psalm 62 : 1 )
Most of times, we are anxious & tense, because we don't take time to talk truly & calmly to the Lord. We don't take time to pray. To avoid fear & weakness, we have to put all things into God's kindness. It's a faith & confidence in God. This act becomes easy when we do regularly our prayer. This habit gives us a deep serenity. It's the proof to show us that we keep God's Word in our heart. How to taste the Lord's goodness without approaching Him ?
The evil continues his work, so we must too continue to pray. Let's learn to persevere in the entreaty !

3- Delivrance is from God :
God sees & knows the people's suffering. God doesn't ignore them and He wants to give us rescue. His people suffer from slavery ( old or modern ex : in Egypt - Exodus 3 : 7,8 ; and in the modern time that means until now ). Did God use Moses'wisdom for rescuing His people ? No. He didn't want to use the " Pharaoh's daughter's son " but those who has been changed by Him during 40 years in the desert ; God used a poor shepherd who keeped his father-in-law sheeps ( Exodus 3 : 1 ). All the eldest sons of Egypt were died after God's judgement. How did Israelites'sons escape for this judgement ?
Just to hear God : to kill sheep, to take some of its blood and to put them on the sides and on the tops of the door-frames of their houses ( Exodus 12 : 5-8 ). The Israelites' way was stopped by the red sea whereas Pharaoh's chariots & army runed after them. It was not a problem :
Just they have to hear God again. God said to Moses : " Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground (Exodus 14 : 16). So the Israelites could go through the sea then after the waters flow back over the Egyptians & their horsemen who pursued the God's people. How to fall down Jericho's big wall ? Is it with using cunning, or using power or using treachery ? NO,
Always just to hear God : with making many marches around the city and blowing the trumpets (Joshua 6 : 1-5). After this strange method will be the delivrance. ( The Good Seed 2002 - 30th May )
