Last night we went to our grandson’s high school football game. The rain made it interesting. However we were prepared with umbrellas and rain gear. Fortunately it wasn’t windy so the umbrellas protected us well.
Where do we look for protection today? We buy insurance to protect investments in property, cars and health. 401Ks, IRAs, and social security are supposed to secure our futures. Alarm systems protect our homes and loved ones.
Although we are heavily invested in protections, all these investments are constantly at risk. A singular event like a world-wide pandemic can easily destroy the viability of companies that support our security and financial systems.
Where can we find protection that we can count on, no matter what happens? God promises to never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). The Bible calls Him the rock, strong tower, defense, refuge, shield, strength, and fortress. He is the omnipotent Almighty God. He is able to give us the protection we want and need.
