TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED

When you look back on your personal life and our national life, you recognize a number of nights that we could call "our night before" when everything changed.

There's an old familiar statement we often make when we say, "It's always darkest before the dawn." What we mean by that is that before a miracle happens or our situation changes, we have plenty of opportunity to be in despair and fear.

Each of us has memories of our turning points, soon good, some real good, and also some not so good—the night before you board the plane for your planned vacation to the Bahamas. Or the night before, you have to face the judge in the courthouse. These are the nights that you remember because it's in these times that your character and strengths are strengthened and formed.

Look at Paul and Silas, as related in the Book of Acts, in jail at midnight. It was their night before God's miracle happened, and they were set free supernaturally.

Take a snapshot of Peter as he's in chains, locked up in a Roman prison. Meanwhile, the fellow believers were gathered, praying for his deliverance when the angel came and set him free supernaturally.

It was the night before when George Washington, the commander of our young revolutionary army, knelt in prayer, asking God for guidance. It had been months since we declared our independence, and our battle against the biggest army in the world was not going well. We had yet to win in any of the battles that we fought.

As George Washington was in prayer. God gave him a battle plan. He was to take his men across the Delaware River on Christmas Eve and attack the German mercenary army that England had hired. So, in the middle of the night, he took his army across the icy river in a blinding snowstorm. Catching the enemy by surprise, they had a total victory.

It was the turning of the war that eventually brought us our freedom and independence.

There is the "night before" in every one of our lives, and what keeps us true to our faith and the promises of God is knowing that he is faithful to bring us to our destination.

How could we forget the garden scene with Jesus on his "night before" experience? The scriptures tell us that he was in such intense interaction with his Father in prayer, that he sweat as it were great drops of blood.

The next day changed the world forever and made it possible for you and me to have eternal life and be taken back into the Father's heart.

Stand firm in your "night before" because tomorrow's coming when victory is promised.
