Here we go again!

 

Whoever rests in the shadow of the Most High God will be kept safe by the Mighty One. I will say about the Lord, “He is my place of safety. He is like a fort to me. He is my God. I trust in him.” He will certainly save you from hidden traps and from deadly sickness. He will cover you with his wings. Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety. He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower. You won’t have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night. You won’t have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day. You won’t have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness. You won’t have to fear the plague that destroys at noon. A thousand may fall dead at your side. Ten thousand may fall near your right hand. But no harm will come to you. (Psalm 91:1-7)

 Here we go again! We have to go back to even tighter restrictions due to another Covid-19 outbreak. We beg for a cure . . . a vaccine . . . a relief of some kind. We have had enough of this pandemic! Yet we as believers have something others do not!

God says He will protect us! He will certainly save you from hidden traps and from deadly sickness. As believers in the Creator God as Lord and Savior, we have more than a vaccine or drug . . . we have HIM! The worse thing to happen to us is death . . . and even that is victory! 

Rather than scream and plead for the government or scientists to hurry up with a vaccine, why not calm down, quiet down and seek God for peace and confidence? Why not trust in the One who created it all and is in control of it all to have His way in our lives and in the process of His timing? 

I realize it can be challenging. It can be frustrating. But in terms of eternity, time is on our side! Read the above verses again . . . We do not have to fear! We do not have to be afraid!
