The great plan of salvation

 The evacuation of Dunkirk, between May 26 and June 4, 1940, took place. German tank units, also known as the Guderian, were advancing at a rapid pace to annihilate 340,000 allied troops gathered at the port of Dunkirk.

Upon hearing this news, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked the former British Parliament and citizens to fast and pray. He chose to kneel down at the Westminster Church and pray to God. During prayers across the UK, a big storm crossed the Dunkirk Bay area. The heavy rain made tanks and planes unable to float, tanks drowned in mud, and German submarines were forced to withdraw.

The British Army took advantage of this opportunity to issue a requisition for ships. They were able to mobilize as many as 900 ships (even small row boats were given voluntarily) and safely evacuate the 340,000 allied troops to England through the Strait of Dover, saving their lives in crisis. At this time, the song that resounded throughout the sea was the hymnal, “God is our refuge.”

Even now, God is operating the world and history around the great plan of salvation. He promised that those who had left Him would become strangers in foreign lands for 400 years. However, they would be freed from failure and curses if they offered blood sacrifices. All the Egyptian armies and chariots were slaughtered. This contained God's plan for the posterity to remember these historical events and not forget Him.

Although they escaped from Egypt despite ups and downs, the Red Sea blocked their way. The Red Sea stood in front of them and the Egyptian army followed from behind. Moses boldly proclaimed to stand still in faith to see what the Lord would do. You are people who won't see the impossible and complain, but are people who pray and believe in God who makes everything possible!! I pray for you and I love you.
