Protecting God

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.” – Isaiah 41:10 

Last year, we spent most of the months in dread of the life threatening covid-19 pandemic and as a security measure we were on lockdown and encountered economic disaster and the aftermath of the pandemic and stepped into 2021. Once again, the second and third wave of coronavirus is deadly, severe and devastating. We are not sure when this stormy wave will subside. The deep uncertainly of future terrifies mankind.

People are bewildered and frustrated to think about one more lockdown. It is also said that this pandemic will exist for years and only we need to learn to survive amidst covid-19. The government strictly insists on wearing masks, getting vaccinated and following other safety measures. But the feeling of anxiety and panic prevails everywhere. As there is a question mark over the future, people are tensed and depressed and in stress and fright to know when everything will return to normalcy. 

Napoleon Bonaparte, was in pursuit of power. He conquered many countries. But in the end, he was vanquished by the British and he was exiled to the remote island and imprisoned. He spent the rest of his life in dismay, dejection and depression. One day Napoleon received a gift from a friend. It was a chess set. It contained within one of the pieces a detailed plan for his escape from the island. As no one could contact him to disclose the secret to him, he knew nothing of the plan contained therein. His dejection hampered his thinking process, he missed his chance. He failed to discern the reason for sending him the chess set. Later he fell ill and passed away. When the chess set was auctioned, the secret came to light.

Our God, the Lord of Lords has given us in our hands the Bible, the precious shield for protection. Although we are in a state of intense fear and stress, let us remember to read the Bible. Beloved, the word of God is an excellent medicine which gives us health, healing and protection. So, let us read it with love, meditate on it and let it be our breath. We need not panic or get tensed about the pandemic. The Lord is with us and our families to protect us. We will be covered with the powerful presence of God. Amen.
