So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10
We are in an unprecedented world. We are unaware of what the future holds for us or what would happen next minute. People around are surviving with fear and hopelessness. For those who trust in the Lord is aware that God is our Protector, and He holds our future in His hands. He has promised us, and so we have hope and peace in our heart.
Even in the present condition where Covid-19 is rattling the whole world with a pandemic situation looming around. People are trembling with fears whether they will cure if they are caught up with the virus. Everyone are making use of the best medical kit to safeguard themselves from the Coronavirus. However, for anyone, the real protection comes from God. Psalm 127: 1 says "Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain." as you and I must also discover, that the safest place in the World is in the shadow of the Almighty, "under His wings."
When situation tries to pull us down, when circumstances like big storms tries to break our ship God expects us to hold our faith on Him. God alone is the Protector and shield for His people. "By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to given them light…" Ex. 13:21 God will not leave us to fend for ourselves, struggling to find our way. He will lead us. He promises to. When Pharaoh tried to destroy the people of Israelites God was among them as the Protector. Pharaoh came up with his fullest army power when the entire Israelites where gathered before the red sea. There was no place to escape or no hope anywhere. Moses went to the Almighty because He is the source of protection. When He is with us no enemies can prevail over us. God opened the red sea, and He sends "The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them" to protect his people from Pharaoh. He will hem us in from all sides and keep us under His care. It doesn't mean we won't ever face the battle, but we can know that He is sure with us in the midst of it. What more do we need. Are you trying to protect your marriage, family or whatever situation it may be, just handover your situation to God today. He will protect with the divine protection. Amen.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly God. You are our great shield and Protector. Help us and protect our family and children's from every enemies of the world and diseases. Help us to seek your face and faith on you in every situation. Amen
