Hogan's Escape Tunnel

by PamFord Davis  
8/23/2024 / Devotionals

Remember Hogan’s Heroes escape tunnel?

The German POW (prisoner of war) camp served as Colonel Hogan’s base of operations. He served Allies well at Stalag 13. His men had cleverly constructed a tunnel beneath one of the prisoner’s bunks. They were free to come & go as needed.

Have you ever wished for a way of escape? I admit it, I have. In times of trouble, I find myself searching for the closest escape route. It’s hard to master enemies of fear and anxiety. I have a propensity to seek escape for self preservation. God is in control; He can lead me to a safe way of escape.

The LORD most often provides strength enabling me to endure.

Escape or endure?

Abraham and Sarah doubted God. He had promised to bless them with a son but it was taking so long… Conniving, Sarah formulated a plan. She decided to use her servant Hagar as a child bearer. Hagar conceived and conflict ensued. Under duress, Hagar fled in an effort to escape from Sarah's wrath. (Genesis 16:1-8)

The angel of the LORD knew her plight; escape wasn’t the solution.

Hagar endured hardship.

“So the angel of the Lord said to her, ‘Return to your mistress, and submit to her authority.’ The angel of the Lord also said to her, ‘I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count.’ The angel of the Lord said to her further,

‘Behold, you are pregnant,
And you will give birth to a son;
And you shall name him Ishmael,
Because the Lord has heard your affliction (Genesis 16:9-11 NASB).”
