The very great weapon

“The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.” -Psalms 121:7  

Brother Joseph went abroad leaving his country to study Theology. He completed his five years course in Theology and he was getting ready to return to his motherland. The voyage began well and it was pleasant. After sometime due to heavy snow fall there was delay in the voyage. They could not steer the ship properly. All the passengers got frightened. But brother Joseph had no fear because he realised that God is with him always. The fall of snow became heavier. The ship was dashed against the rock and the ship was broken down. Those who were good at swimming, reached the shore. Brother Joseph did not know swimming. He closed his eyes and said Psalms 121 in his mind and he did not remember what happened then.

The next morning, he found himself lying on the hot sand. When he opened his eyes, he saw the forest residents around him. They were beating the drums and singing, dancing and making merry. He could not understand their language. He said Psalms 121 in his mind as he did not know their intention. The word of God will protect and save us in times of trouble. We can also memorize the Psalms. Do you know what they did to brother Joseph? They tied him to an electric pole. They thought that he would be a great feast to them. They saw two birds circling over the electric pole. Then they perched on the pole. The leader of the forest residents noticed the activities of the birds and felt that brother had some special power and so he knelt down before brother Joseph and worshipped him. Then they untied and freed him.

Those tribes could not understand what brother said. So, brother communicated with them through gestures. Then he drew pictures to show how Jesus was crucified. He became friendly with them and taught them good habits. The whole community came to know Jesus. His love in action changed their lives. Now they all belonged to Jesus. This was possible by the powerful weapon - the word of God. The word of God protected brother Joseph and he stood as a witness to Christ. When we are under predicament or in fright, it is possible to quote the word of God if we have already memorized them. So, it is very important for us to memorize as many verses as possible. Now we do not have online class and exam. We are on holidays. We must spend more time on learning the verses by heart. Ok, kids. Brother Joseph learnt psalms 121 and said it in times of trouble and was successful in his life. Let us also please Jesus by reading the Bible, memorizing verses and doing accordingly. Ok.
