“Let us thank the Lord,
who has not let our enemies destroy us.” – Psalms 124:6 (GNT)
As we
have reached the end of this year 2020, we can boldly proclaim that we have
experienced the Lord’s protection and favour abundantly in this year. We have
faced a terrible pandemic and many around us have lost their lives. In this
year many of us had gone through some tough times. People tried to destroy us.
The pandemic tried to destroy us. Evil forces tried to destroy our peace and
family lives. But then the Lord stood with us and He had not let our enemies
destroy us.
We
are alive today by His grace. How blessed we are to have the Creator of this
universe watching over us and standing by our side to guide and help us!
Personally
to me this year was a year of blessing. The Lord graciously gave us a daughter
before we entered into lockdown. When the lockdown was announced, I really don’t
know what to do and so I went into God’s presence and surrendered the whole
family into the hands of the Lord. We had our new born daughter along with
another little daughter given by God to us. Also my grandmother who is around
82 years old was also with us. I knew very well that I could not take care of this
entire people who belong to different age groups. The Lord graciously heard my
prayers and took care of everyone and everything.
The
Lord graciously protected each and everyone amidst all the trials and
tribulations and He blessed us richly. We did go through some tough situations
but throughout the year no one got sick and no lives were lost. In all those
tough situations we could see the hand of the Lord carrying us and protecting
us. Today as a family we are alive only because of the grace of Jesus Christ. I
sincerely thank our Lord for His eternal love and grace that sustained us.
My
dear young friends, let us thank the Lord who has not let our enemies destroy
us. We have escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap because the Lord was on
our side. Remember, you are alive today only because of God’s grace. Let us
enter into the New Year with a grateful heart and thanksgiving. The Lord will
continue to be with you and He will lead you and protect you in the New Year
too.
