Middle Man

Please take a moment and read over them. Exodus 25:17-22, Numbers 2:17, Daniel 3:24-28 (3 Hebrew Children), Habakkuk 3:2, Mark 6:47-51 (Disciples in the middle of storm).

The principle is set in place very early in Scripture. In Exodus, God tells us that He will meet with the priests from between the cherubims. In Numbers, instructions are given that the tabernacle must be erected in the middle of the camp. In Daniel, the Word declares that the fourth man came walking into the middle of the fire. Habakkuk says that God will restore us in the middle of the years. Mark states that the disciples were in the middle of the sea when Jesus came walking on the water. The principle is clear and encouraging - God is the "Middle-Man"! He has a habit of showing up right in the middle of things - in the middle of our meetings, in the middle of the fire we are going through, in the middle of the years when we may feel like we have been forgotten, in the middle of every storm. God shows up and walks into the middle of our circumstances and situations.

I want to encourage you today, that regardless of how things look at the job you're working in or how tough things are at home. In spite of hard-headed and hearted people, God will show up. If you feel helpless and like it is hopeless, take courage, God delights in walking into the middle of impossible situations and working miracles. In fact, in Zephaniah 3:17 we receive a powerful promise. The Word says that "The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty." In other words, not only does He show up in the middle of things, He shows up prepared to do mighty things on our behalf. Whatever you are going through, whatever you are facing and fighting, in the face of obstacles and difficulties, hear the promise of our Father. He is mighty in the midst of those things.

Don't lose hope in or sight of the Middle Man. He is faithful to show up at the very moment that it looks like everything is lost. In the middle of your lack, He will show up as Jehovah Jireh . . . your Provider. In the middle of your sleepless nights, He will reveal Himself as your Jehovah Shalom . . . your Peace. In the middle of an attack, He will present Himself as your Shield and Buckler. Right in the middle of your weakness, He will become your strength. Right in the middle of your pain, He will show up as Jehovah Frugal . . . He won’t waste your pain. He is our Middle Man. If you're right in the middle of it, begin to look around and anticipate His arrival. He will arrive shortly. Be encouraged!

I am praying that God will show up right in the middle of your stuff, today!
