“This is the finger of God!”
We are living in an era of technological explosion. Every day we hear of a new scientific discovery or technological breakthrough. In the medical field for example, we have seen how many “plagues” have been eradicated and we have witnessed new marvelous surgical procedures never thought possible before.
Now the talk is about “genetic engineering,” cloning, in vitro fertilization and a host of many other dangerous experiments. But even science has its limits, and those who practice witchcraft healing also fall short of God’s power.
There is only one God and only He is Omnipotent. God created the human mind, and endowed it with an enormous (although limited) creativity. Sometimes, mankind has gone beyond this obvious limitation and has tried to play the role of God; and every time they have failed miserably.
Up to now, science has been unable to find a cure for cancer, Aids or HIV, multiple sclerosis, Covid 19 Alzheimer’s, diabetes, epilepsy, Parkinson’s and many others, including (believe it or not) the common cold. So far, no doctor has been able to stop the irreversible advent of death. This demonstrates, rather convincingly, that science will never be God... not even a small “god.”
Even the powerful magicians recognized that the “finger of God” was responsible for another “impossible” miracle. They didn’t know of course, that our God specializes and operates in the realm of the impossibilities. They did not know our God.
And to think that He only used one “finger!”

“...and deliver you from slavery...”
Once upon a time, there was a little lamb that for whatever reason was separated from the rest of the flock. Lost and confused, she went to and fro looking and screaming (or bleating, I think it’s the correct term) for her family, but was unable to find them. Then, to make matters worse, she was surprised by the darkness of moonless night. Now she was lost, alone and afraid.
In the midst of her confusion, she did not notice the presence of a terrible enemy. When she heard the thunderous roar, it was too late. She had fallen into the paws of the lion.
The little lamb closed her eyes and bleated as loud as her small lungs allowed her. All of the sudden she heard a loud bang, and then... silence. When she opened her eyes again, she was in the arms of the smiling shepherd.
Our God is a God that delivers and saves. You and I were like the little lamb in the hands of our enemy, the devil. We were lost, in darkness and without hope; but Jesus, the Good Shepherd heard our desperate cry and came to our rescue. Thank you, Lord, for delivering me from the paws of the enemy and from the gates of hell. I deserved (and still deserve) to be utterly destroyed for my sin, but your grace has set me free.
This is what God did with Israel. He promised them deliverance and he delivered. After four hundred years of bondage in Egypt, Israel was liberated completely by the mighty hand of God.
This is the God in which you and I trust. How blessed we are!
A. G.
