Divine assistance

"As your days — so shall your strength be!" Deuteronomy 33:25

There is no promise of grace before you need it. God does not say He will strengthen our arms for the battle — when there is no battle. When the conflict is approaching — then we are given the necessary strength.

He does not open the gates for us, nor roll away the stones — until we come to them.

He did not divide the waters of the Jordan — while the people were still in their camps, nor even when they began to march toward the river.

The wild stream continued to flow, even as the feet of the priests dipped in the water.

This is the continual law of God's help in time of need.

Divine assistance is not given in advance. As we come to the need, the supply is ready — but not before.

Do not worry because you cannot see the way clear and the needs supplied far in advance of your steps.

God will always provide for His children.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble!" Psalm 46:1
