2Ki 3:18
"And this is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
To our omnipotent God, anything is possible. It is only whether He is willing; whether something is according to His will. Remember how the leper came before Jesus and asked to be healed?
And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." (Mat 8:2)He fully understood that Jesus can heal him, but it all depends on whether He is willing. That is why the phrase "if You are willing" came first.
Do we also have this type of faith towards Jesus? The faith to believe that all things are actually simple matters in the sight of God, but it just depends on whether it is according to His will or not. In our prayers, do we manifest this type of faith and say "Lord, if You are willing, ...."?
He delivers me from my enemies.
You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man.
(Psa 18:48)
Let us also have faith that He will deliver us from our enemies and therefore have no fear. But most importantly, remember that it is according to His mercies that we are delivered, for on what grounds can we ask of such deliverance from Him? We who have gone against God time and again; we who have delivered ourselves into the hands of the enemies, why should God save us?
In Your mercy cut off my enemies,
And destroy all those who afflict my soul;
For I am Your servant. (Psa 143:12)
He saves us, because of His abundant mercies.
