Psalm 91:5-6 – You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
Concerns abound for America and the nation’s citizens—concerns over their health, concerns over their jobs and incomes, concerns over debts, rent bills, mortgages, concerns over the lack of paper, and cleaning supplies in the markets. What do you do with yours?
Psalm 5:11-12 says, “But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield.” That is a promise of God. Do you believe it? Are you living like you do? Do you truly trust God to protect you—even to shield you from the virus? Do you act like it?
Where have you placed your faith? In scientists who are working to develop a vaccine? In manufacturers who have set aside what they regularly do to make ventilators? In task forces? If you have not totally committed your way to God, you might want to repent of your lack of faith. Make him Lord. Take refuge in Him. Say like Job of old, “Though he slay me, yet I will hope in him” (Job 13:15).
Luke 18:7-8 says, “And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
Were Jesus to return tomorrow, would He find faith abiding within you?
Pray With Us
Jehovah Machsi, God my Refuge, I cry to you, Lord. You are my Strong Fortress, my Rock, and Sure Defense. I hide myself in You, and cling to You for safety. Bless me today, O Father. Give me an immovable faith, that I might trust in You and You alone. Whatever today or tomorrow brings, I know You are with me, and Your desires are for good for me. I do not want to be found lacking in my faith in You. The times are evil. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Amen.
