escape deliverance

as I write this it is with a heart that is calm and I amazed that I didn't think of it before. before today if you were to say escape or deliverance I would say the same thing basically not any difference. it wasn't until I read a book entitled When God Whispers your name that I saw it differently. when one escapes something they do it themselves no help. if they are delivered it is because of someone else. namely God's doing it and bringing about about. we are often amazed when this happens. we probably had be wringing our hands and worried how we'd get out. but bamm! God steps in and brings the deliverance. it is amazing. I think of one place off hand in the Bible this to be the case. God's people were at the red sea and Pharo and his army hot on their heels. no way of escape was handy. Moses told them to stand still and let God take care of it. so what did God do? He parted the sea and provided a path for them to cross. they all reached the other side no problem. the army tried to follow but wheels kind of got stuck and God brought the sea back to normal and drowning the army. Amazing! so when your up against a wall and it seems to be no way of escape! stand still and look the God! He will bring about deliverance. it may not come at the time you wish it to come but it will come I promise you that. so how? youget in your knees and pray tot the Lord and pour out your whole heart to Him and maybe if needs be confess sin to Him and watch and see the deliverance. it will come in a way unknown and unseen. you may see from a source you never expected. II am mindful a time in my life I think may be worth mentioning. I was living in Denver and my then wife and I were split. we were both staying in a shelter. I was the Salvation Army and she was at the Samaritian house. I decided to get a bed there with the hopes to work on my marriage. I went down. they had only one bed. the distributed cards to each man. then drew one. if your card was drawn you got the bed. mine wasn't drawn. so as my then wife was escorting me out and back to my location. we we being motioned to to stay put. I got the bed. the man who had gotten lefte the grounds and almost rght away disappeared. no trace of him. so deliverance to a degree you can say. God is always willing tohelp us we just needs look to Him before we go about trying to figure it out on our own. He will never fail us.
