The Bible. Some call it just a book. Some call it a crutch. Its words work for some, not so much for others.
If you live on planet earth right now, you’re living in a pandemic. COVID-19 may barely effect the rich and famous, but will devastate the poor and hungry. Whether you’re a celebrity on YouTube or a parent standing in a food line, here’s something to ask yourself:
How will you begin tomorrow? Will it begin with greed or fear?
If you really want more than you need, I can’t help you much this time. But if you’re afraid, these old words may help:
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
That’s some pretty good assurance from the Bible. Psalm 91. Try it. You might like it.
You may need it some morning.
