About this episode
We come now to a moment of high drama, a point where all human options have been exhausted. Behind them is the most sophisticated and ruthless military machine on the planet, enraged and bent on vengeance. From a purely human standpoint, this is not a strategic problem; it is a coffin. And it is a coffin that God Himself has designed. And this is a fundamental lesson we must grasp. God frequently leads His people into situations where the only possible deliverance is a divine one. He writes us into corners so that He is the only one who can turn the page. He does this to strip away our self-reliance, to expose the utter bankruptcy of our own strength and ingenuity, and to display His glory. The world believes in contingency plans, in multiple outs, in diversified portfolios of trust.
