There is no saviour besides Me. - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

There is no saviour besides Me.
Hosea 13:4

“Nick” lived an unremarkable life in his family and in a Christian environment until he turned sixteen. But from that point on everything changed. He threw overboard all that related to faith. High school graduation, university studies and a good job were the next steps in his life. Earning and spending money became a priority to him.

Then came the civil war with all its turmoil and horrors. Nick found himself on the wrong side. If influential people hadn’t obtained his release, he probably wouldn’t have lived. However, he did get to experience a short period of imprisonment, so that never again did he want to see the inside of a prison, let alone the small solitary cell. The thought of it still haunts him today. That’s why he left his home country.

So much for this quite unusual fate of this young person, but what does it have to do with God? Just this: His believing parents prayed persistently for him during this whole period. As Christians, they knew what earnest prayer could achieve.

And God intervened. When Nick was at his lowest point, distressed by his tormentors and facing death, the God of his childhood came to his mind – and he prayed to Him in his cell. God answered. The young man realised what Jesus had done for him and accepted Him as his personal Saviour. And then he experienced Jesus’ forgiveness for the wrong paths in his life. He promised to follow Him and do His will from that point on. Suddenly and surprisingly, he was set free.

Even today, Nick thanks his God for saving him from the threat of death and for saving his soul.
