Life in this trouble some days are fearful and uncertain. We are
living in difficult times. Faith will be tested and proved and for some it
could be shaken. On the outset life seems living on the edge crippled with
fear. Where we are heading towards and what are we going to achieve in this world?
“No one knows”. Till now we were all chasing after the wind. Now, Life seems to
be still and meaningless.
We have faced uncertainties every time and it is filled with
sorrow and questions.
Covid19 has taken the Center stage in the world arena. Everyone’s
focus are now set on the statistics that corona brings into human history. The
death toll is alarmingly increasing, and the hope of people were set on finding
a way out from this menace. Living life amidst all these challenges makes us
feel so weak and sick.
Eat, fun, celebrate are all have tossed up and have become not so attractive words to us. Fear has robbed our fun. Trust in God has lost its grip and self-reliance has taken its hold. Can God be trusted in difficult times like this? We trust the man-made hand sanitizers that can kill the germs. But truly do we trust in the everlasting, mighty, and faithful God and his promises? How can we beat the odds and trust God completely? Isa 26:3 says – “You will keep in perfect peace, those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you”. There is imperfect peace because of imperfect trust in God. Can faith be truly our antidote? There is a constant battle between faith and fear. It’s a critical choice that we need to make.

Jesus helps us to overcome fear. Do we allow him to take control
of our lives? Do we know Him personally as our Lord and savior? He is the only
hope to this dying world. It is high time for us to come to him and confess our
sins and repent from our wicked ways. To receive his pardon and his mercies are
we too far off? He is truly a prayer away from us, call unto Him and He will
answer you. And let us find solace and rest for our troubled souls.
Let God who is Sovereign answer
our cries in this crisis. Our lives are in His hands. He determines the number
of days we live (Ps 90:9-12). Let us not be gripped by the fear of death. He
can heal the Nations, as He is the God of the Nations. He can heal the people
who are afflicted and restore peace and health in this world. The greatest of
all healing is salvation of our souls. Amen!
