Our Eyes Are Fixed On The Lord
Dánica Coto and Evens Sanon wrote an article in the 10/17/2021 World News section of Huffington Post entitled, “U.S. Religious Group Says 17 Missionaries Kidnapped In Haiti.” The article went on to indicate that the gang which kidnapped the missionaries carries out kidnappings, car jackings, and extorts business owners. The organization which sent this group, Christian Aid Ministries, issued a statement. “Join us in praying for those who are being held hostage, the kidnappers and the families, friends and churches of those affected. As an organization, we commit this situation to God and trust Him to see us through.”
We live in a world where even doing good can be dangerous. Going where God said to go and doing what God said to do may not always have endings that we would like. However, we must remember that all things work together for the good of those that love the Lord (Romans 8:28). The Bible says that man is of a few days and full of trouble (Job 14:1). Still God promised that He is working in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
We have to remember that however this challenging situation ends man is not in charge; God is still on the throne. He sees all and nothing can happen without His permission. The Bible says that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much (James 5:16). The Bible declares if two or three are gathered in God’s Name, He is in the midst (Matthew 18:20). God is with these missionaries. For those who love the Lord, we must pray, intercede, lay before God, and ask for a quick and total deliverance for these children of God. He can do anything but fail!
