The word of the Lord reminds us, "The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe." Proverbs 29:25.
For the past twenty-four hours, people living in Bermuda have seen the hand of God, moving the damaging effects of a hurricane away from the island. But may I warn you, the word of tje Lord is, "We are only safe as we trust in God. We have a vigilant foe to contend against.... He [Christ] saw that it was not possible for man to overcome the powerful foe in his own strength, therefore He came in person from the courts of heaven and bore in behalf of man the test that Adam failed to endure.... Christ overcame Satan, making it possible for man to overcome on his own behalf in the name of Christ. But the victory can only be gained in Christ's name, through His grace.
When burdened, when pressed with temptation, when the feelings and desires of the natural heart are clamoring for the victory. It is earnest, fervent, importunate prayer in the name of Jesus that brings help to your side to overcome all things, even Satan.
I implore you to trust wholly in God. “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” James 4:7, 8."
This hurricane is a lesson for all of us. Let us learn the lesson and trust God!
Let us learn to follow orders in small things. Let us learn to be obedient to God in every act. The pathway may be rough and thorny, and the ascents steep, requiring toil on our part. You may have to press on a little longer at times when weary, when you long for rest.
You may have to get up early to fight on when you feel faint. Gather hope by “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2, and be not discouraged. Trust in your Redeemer, and you will be safe.
As for me and my house, we will keep our hands in God and trust Him to see us through. May God bless all of us to do the same. Blessings, Blessings, Blessings
