A Very Present Help in Troubled Times

Psalm 46 verse 1 is the word that God has given me as the world screeches to a halt in the midst of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. As I type this, I am conscious that my body has been fighting something over the past few days. I have experienced some mild symptoms that are similar to the the what the NHS have been cautioning against, despite the fact that I have not left my house in the past 7 days. Fortunately, I already had a work from home routine, but my wife has not yet been able to get off work, although she seems to be fine and well.

I had to turn off the news the first time i started feeling a bit feverish because i felt i was being overwhelmed by all of the bad news being reported and that had created in me a stress-fever.

i took a paue from writing this post because i have not felt very well, and the only reason i know that my symptoms are not of the covid virus is because i do not have a high temperature or a cough.

as the world continues to shut down while trying to fight back against the virus, i have been holding on to god’s word which he spoken to me concerning 2020. this is supposed to be a year of elevation according to my prophecy, but right now it feels like the whole world is sinking. death numbers rise everyday, people are losing their jobs and even for those of us who still have jobs, there is a huge threat to the sustainability of our jobs.

i try not to be afraid. i try to remember that god does not lie. i remind myself that god has delivered before even when all hope seemed lost. and i meditate daily on psalm 46 where god assures us that even when the earth is crumbling, all we need to do is be still and know that he is god.

thank you for your soverignty in the midst of troubled times. thank you god because those who call upon your name can both be delivered or rescued. thank you because believers who have passed away in this pandemic have a promise of eternal life with you.

many people are using this pandemic to share their thoughts about how the world is coming to an end and how jesus is coming soon and how all of this is a judgement from god.

personally the only thing god has told me about this pandemic is nothing. however, he has hinted something to me about the year 2030 – so i know that this is not the end of the road, not now, not yet. but from 2030, things might be different, i am not sure what he meant because he only gave me one word, which i am not yet allowed to share publicy.
