They said to the messengers who came, Thus shall you tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance. The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad. 1 Samuel 11:9 WEBThe Ammonites besieged Jabesh Gilead, and it looked pretty hopeless for the people living there. They told the people to give up and come out, but they held on and sent out messengers. When Saul heard the news, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he told them to wait one more day. That by the time the sun was hot, they would be delivered. He then gathered men and at sunrise the battle began. The Ammonites were defeated, and the city was rescued from the siege.
The people of Jabesh were pressured by the enemy to give up, but they held on for one more day, and God sent them help. Sometimes when we are under pressure, we need to wait just one more day for our deliverance to arrive. In a matter of hours, things changed for them. Their breakthrough was so close, but if they had surrendered to the enemy, it would have been a defeat instead of a victory.
So don't give up today when things look dark or hopeless, because it can be so close. The Spirit of the Lord watches over you and nothing is hidden from Him. It just may be that by the time the sun is hot tomorrow, that your situation will have changed for the better.
