The Hope Of God’s Protection

Written By Rev. Dennis V. Jefferson

Dear MBC Church Family,

 

Be not dismayed whate’er betide, God will take care of you.  That’s the message we want to convey to anyone who attends the Hour of Power prayer time on Thursday.  The public in many of the southern and western states is slowly coming to realize the extent of a preventable disaster that’s only now beginning to hit them.  After dismissing the impact of the corona virus and its ease of transmission, they are now seeing how their decisions to mock public safety warnings have led to a crisis of care at hospitals with no end in sight, only gloom along the way.

 

However, God is extending the hope of His protection to those who believe in Him, and we are basing that hope on His promises found in Psalm 91:

 

·       No harm will befall you, no disaster will come near you

·       A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.     

·       “I will rescue him; I will protect him,” says the LORD.

·       “I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him”

 

As a result, there’s no need to fear “the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.”  Believers experiencing a storm surge all around them and feeling like they need something to hold on to can trust in these truths to make it through the dark days to come.
