Living Securely In Times Of Crisis

Wednesday August 12, 2020

In recent times we have all felt insecure due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Our way of life has been in crisis mode and we are required to follow new rules of self-distancing and isolation to avoid contracting this viral disease.  At times like these, where do we find our security? Do we look to the government or others to meet our needs or do we look to the living God who promises us mercy and grace to help in our time of need?

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.  (1 Peter 1:3-4 ESV)

Some of us, when we were living unmanageable lives, cried out to the God of our understanding to help us.  Even though we had distanced ourselves from God because of our sin, He turned His ear to hear our prayer and through His beloved son Jesus brought us to new life. Because of God’s kindness and unfailing love for us, we felt secure in giving our will and life over to His care.  God is a merciful God for He did not send Jesus into the world to judge us for what we have done, but that through Him we might be saved from having to pay the penalty for it.
God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him. (John 3:17 ERV)



Those of us who continue to walk with God find security in our daily conscious contact with Him.  God is always with us, so we need never face our problems alone.  Together with God any difficulty can be worked out and overcome. 

Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.” (Psalm 12:5 ESV)

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I know when I have conscious contact with You and follow Your ways, I am always secure.  Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You.  Amen
