God’s Intervention In Your Life
God picks people out from the miry clay and places them on higher ground. The first thing you need is faith in this delivering God.
When a person is going through a complacent and unchanging period, how does God step in and change this?
Luke was not one among the disciples. He was a doctor; he was educated and intelligent. He was someone that wrote about Jesus, like many other people did, just like the journalists of today.
Luke 1:1-4
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a] among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
He wanted to write an organised and informed report about Jesus. He did this for Theophilus, so that he may be sure of what he was taught.
We can assume that Luke interviewed the disciples and other witnesses and people that saw Jesus up close. He may have even spoken to Jesus’ mother, Mary and John’s mother, Elizabeth. Luke also gives calculations about who was ruling at the time and at what period each event took place.
He did all this to make sure that one person, Theophilus, may walk in the truth. It was after this, that Luke wrote the book of Acts. Today, millions of people are blessed by Luke’s record. How much effort do we take to lead just one person to salvation?
In the book of Luke we realise that for 400 years before Jesus, there were no prophets. Only the teachers and Pharisees were there. This was when Zachariah, who went to pray at the temple, encountered an angel.
Luke 1:11-17 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
For 400 years there was no voice of God, there were no changes and things were complacent. It was in a dead situation that God suddenly appeared to change history. In the same way, God can step into your complacent situation and turn it into a blessing for you and for many others. Zachariah and Elizabeth had become old. They prayed for many other people and saw miracles but saw no change in their own lives. This was when God turned everything around. God can do the same for you!
