Today I want to share this very timely message from Joseph Prince's "Grace Inspirations":
THE LORD YOUR REFUGE WILL DELIVER YOU
Psalm 91:3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the
fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
Today, we hear of new strains of viruses which were unheard
of only a generation ago. The world has yet to find cures for them and many
people are afraid of being struck down by these viruses.
But as believers, we are not of the world, though
we are in the world (see John 17:15–16). So our protection is not of
the world, but of the Lord. And when we say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and
my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust” (Psalm 91:2), then what follows is
not “maybe,” but surely He will deliver you from the snare of the
fowler and from the perilous pestilence.
A couple in our church can testify that surely the Lord
delivered and protected their two young children during a Hand, Foot and Mouth
Disease (HFMD) outbreak, which claimed a few lives in Singapore not long ago.
When their four-year-old daughter started vomiting and
running a fever, the mother brought her to their family doctor, who found
ulcers in her mouth and small red dots on her hands and feet—symptoms of the
HFMD. Naturally, the doctor prescribed medication for her.
Back home, however, the little girl continued to vomit
throughout the day, throwing up everything including the medication. Her fever
persisted. Not able to do anything for their daughter, the parents prayed,
proclaiming Jesus as their healer, and partook of the Holy Communion many times
with both their children.
That night, their daughter’s fever broke and the vomiting
subsided. They continued making the Lord their refuge and fortress. Within two
days, their daughter was completely delivered from the disease. And all this
while, their six-year-old son was completely protected from the infectious
disease.
Beloved, you don’t need to be afraid of deadly diseases
which may have claimed the lives of others. You don’t have to be fearful that
you or your child may become victims of these super bugs. When the Lord is your
refuge and fortress, surely He shall deliver you and your family from the snare
of the fowler, such as the avian flu, and from all perilous pestilences!
