Lockdown Day 264 - 15 December 2020
And so our Prez felt the need for new reg's. Many people were worried, as were we here in Nam. Tomorrow their Prez will address the nation of Namibia. In SA the sales of alcohol is restricted to 4 days a week (save for wineries, thank goodness) and curfew is lengthened, many beaches closed.
To me these are measures that should have been implemented long ago. In saying that though, I realise life is a changed phenomenon. And still there's that no-control thing hovering "discreetly" over it all. Again, the whole world is in a grip that is being tightened once more.
If I were a filmmaker with apocalyptic interests, I would feel it and want to make the most relevant movie of our time.
Waiting for our car to be cleaned, I sat watching "normal life" happen as masked people pass by with their own agendas and christmas lists, the weirdness of it all just struck me again.
We are becoming a faceless society and even though we rebel against it every day, we still keep complying. I wonder if it isn't just all a fear driven fetish. A kind of hellish conspiracy to mind-control and world domination.
And then God reminds me of His providence, presence and plans. Of His mercy that is enough for me. Of the promises in His Word that shine like rainbows in the night. And I know His footprints are before mine for me to step in and follow Him.
"But He answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and My power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me."
2 Corinthians 12:9
