Lockdown 719

Lockdown Day 719-15 March 2022

Imagine doing time travel in your area, to say, ten thousand years ago. No cell reception, no technology, no running water or electricity, or a place to stay, only natural habitat. Would you survive?

Watching the news again tonight and seeing the people queueing at the Polish border to get out of Ukraine, some only with the clothes on their back, ignited a prayer of gratitude in my heart.

In both cases, the key word for survival is other people. People with resources and people who were raised up for a time such as this. I ask myself what I can do apart from physically going there, and the answer is PRAY!

This morning I heard the testimony of a young man who became a paraplegic at the age of 24 after reaching for his phone while driving a mere 70 km/h. He said apart from his faith, the single thing that helped him to keep going, were the people who stood by him through it all, and still do.

Man wasn't designed to live alone. Each person has unique qualities, which when put together, can help them survive almost anything. God has designed us that way. That is why our spirit has been pre-loaded with everything it needs to handle whatever comes our way.

So next time when you are confronted with a step back into time, such as coping without a cellphone for 24 hours, look up. Maybe your step back is having no electricity for a week, or nothing left after your home has been bombed to smitherines, just look up to God.

He will send someone. Someone to help and someone to pray. Always.

Because He's got this.

Always.
