“If you have made the Lord your refuge, if you have made the most High your shelter, no plague will come near your home for he will order the angels to protect you wherever you go.” Psalm 91: 9-11 (Paraphrased)
Just last night I awoke to see an orange fire in the sky. It looked like it was not far away. I called: “Ron!” It was nothing, just a reflection, probably made by the full moon. But I wondered, why was my first call to Ron, my son, who lives with me? I have made the Lord my refuge and my most high my shelter, why shouldn’t my first call be to Him? We have had much more serious things happen to us these last months. And I have called, “Ron!” Why?
“It’s Just natural” my friends and children would say. My kids said when they were little, “Mommy!” whenever they woke up scared. And Mommy would go to them. That was all they needed. But I am not a kid. I should go to my refuge and my shelter first. Shouldn’t I? Yes, and so should you, even if you haven’t made him your refuge and shelter. God loves you! And he is not deaf! But he does want you to believe in him.
Our America is in trouble these days. Some, and I believe it’s many, are trying to change the way we live and govern and just about everything else! All of us want black. red, brown, yellow and white to live as Americans, but the organizers of all this trouble are making it sounds like it’s a black vs. white protest. They are using this terrible virus too as a way to get to our churches.
Oh, we need prayer and our first call to be “God”. Please pray for our country. Please pray for our churches and for all of us who want America to be what it should be, a place where everyone can live in peace, love and joy. God is in complete control but he wants our prayers. Just read the Old Testament and you will learn about many trials the people had and when people turned toward him, things turned around. He will do the same today. It is urgent…pray!
