Humans remain humans. The ideology of some super humans doing the inconceivable by their strength only exist in fables. We spent our childhood loving and simulating these models because of their superpowers, only for us to see that they were unreal as we grew.
While it is true that some humans have clinched greater feats and built great capacity. Nonetheless,their strength is limited.
There is a limit to human’s strength.
As Christians, we cannot deny the fact that we are still humans i.e we are still existing in the flesh, and our blood still flows through our arteries and veins. There are quite a lot of things that we cannot accomplish with the human’s strength.
A portion of the scripture in I Sam. 2:9 stated “… by strength shall no man prevail…” confirms it. This is why God continually emphasize the need for us to rely on his strength because it is infinite.
The notion that whenever we journey God’s road, we are going to have it all easy is erroneous . Everyone God used to perform exploits never had it easy. Notwithstanding, they prevailed by divine assistance.
Let’s consider the children of Israel. They were divinely instructed to leave Egypt. Their journey out of Egypt to the promise land had them encounter several challenges which were resolved by divine intervention.
Alluding to their experiences, there are times it is evident we are treading the divine path, but like the children of Israel, we encounter the red sea before us. When we look back, the fierce pursuit of the adversaries frightens us to our bones. At that spot we are either left with the thoughts of maneuvering ways of escape or nurturing the idea of negotiating with the enemies.
When we encounter such dilemma, how do we react?
Anything ordained by God will certainly be sustained by God.
Like the children of Israel, we are expected to call out to God for help, until the ‘red sea’ is parted.
Whenever we face trials in life, God expects us to reach out to him first. Sadly, some disappoint God by trying to finish what HE has started in their lives. They try to cross their red seas by manufacturing diverse boats that have failed, and will continually fail them.
Any trial on our part to finish God’s project in our lives will earn us frustration.
Our responsibility is to partner with God by faithfully playing the part he has ordained for us.
Some situations will only take God’s miracle for us to have a breakthrough. When we are confronted with seemingly endless impossibilities as vast as the sea, we must acknowledge our need for a miracle to overcome the red sea-like dilemmas, else we get stuck and the enemies catch up with us.
It’s either God splits the red sea for us to walk through on dry land or he makes us walk on them, like Jesus did.

Anything ordained by God will certainly be sustained by God. Hence, his miracles, by his grace, are our sustenance factor.
It is our sustenance. It keeps us afloat on life’s billows, enlivens our hopes, disappoints the enemies, recovers our lost possessions, favors and protects us, and provides our needs.
The divine resources have been, and will continually be our source of life and sustenance.
We need God’s miracles to thrive in these trying times.
Let us keep asking for more of it.
