Le connais-tu ?

Cette parole est certaine et digne d’être pleinement reçue : le Christ Jésus est venu dans le monde pour sauver les pécheurs. 1 Timothée 1. 15

Crois au Seigneur Jésus et tu seras sauvé. Actes 16. 31

Jésus, le Fils de Dieu, est venu sur la terre,
Pour chercher et sauver ceux qui étaient perdus ;
Il peut te libérer du poids de ta misère ;
Le connais-tu ?

Sais-tu ce qu’il souffrit en allant au Calvaire,
Et ce qu’il endura, sur le bois attaché ?
Sais-tu que, par sa mort, il paya le salaire
De ton péché ?

Connais-tu la valeur du sang qui purifie
Et qui peut effacer tes fautes à jamais ?
Sais-tu que, devant Dieu, ce sang qui justifie
A fait la paix ?

Ah ! si tu n’as pas vu la grâce et la puissance
De cet Agneau divin qui mourut sur la croix,
Accours et trouve en lui la pleine délivrance.
Regarde et crois !

Crois au Seigneur Jésus, maintenant il t’invite ;
Viens goûter le bonheur qu’il t’apporte aujourd’hui ;
Réponds sans plus tarder, le temps passe très vite !
Oh ! Viens à lui !

When God Intervenes

Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm. Psalm 105:15

How often do you stop to consider the daily protection God extends over you? What does the knowledge that He saves you from unseen dangers mean to you?

In a poem titled “This Child Is Beloved,” Omawumi Efueye, known affectionately as Pastor O, writes about his parents’ attempts to end the pregnancy that would result in his birth. After several unusual events that prevented them from aborting him, they decided to welcome their child instead. The knowledge of God’s preservation of his life motivated Omawumi to give up a lucrative career in favor of full-time ministry. Today, he faithfully pastors a London church.

Like Pastor O, the Israelites experienced God’s intervention at a vulnerable time in their history. While traveling through the wilderness, they came within sight of King Balak of Moab. Terrified of their conquests and their vast population, Balak engaged a seer named Balaam to place a curse on the unsuspecting travelers (Numbers 22:2–6).

But something amazing happened. Whenever Balaam opened his mouth to curse, a blessing issued instead. “I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it,” he declared. “No misfortune is seen in Jacob, no misery observed in Israel. The Lord their God is with them; . . . God brought them out of Egypt” (Numbers 23:20–22). God preserved the Israelites from a battle they didn’t even know was raging!

Whether we see it or not, God still watches over His people today. May we worship in gratitude and awe the One who calls us blessed.

Father in heaven, forgive us for the many times we take Your care and protection for granted. Give us eyes to see how much You bless us.
