Thoughts on H1N1

Many today are very concerned about the H1N1 flu. Is this something that Christians should lose sleep over? I would submit that we shouldn't.

Let's look at some promises in Psalm 91:1-11:


"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."

There are promises in the Bible for God's children. If we dwell in Him, we will find protection.

Proverbs 1:33 says, "But whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."

Notice the condition for protection from the Lord, we must listen to Him. Then we can live without dread of disaster. Praise His Holy Name!

So, I would encourage you, find the promises of God in His Word. Meditate on them, obey any conditions found in them, and trust the Lord. Don't worry or fret over the things that have the world in turmoil, it doesn't produce faith and God is looking for faith in His people.
