I feared, yet I trust in God

I'm not known for my common sense. Some of those who know me personally will testify to that. But then, why did I strongly refuse the C19 snake bites, especially when it was forced upon me by the government, threatening the loss of my freedom and income?

Like most people, I was not unflinched. I was scared and worried about my future. I worried for my family and how we are able to continue surviving in Singapore, being strongly discriminated against and potentially without an income.

I feared. However, I feared God more. I knew from scripture, from Psalms 139:16 how God has formed me from my mother's womb. I could not bear the thoughts of transgressing against God, to defile the body that he has created for me. I would rather die than to be an offence to my heavenly Father.

Then I read the account of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in Daniel 3, and how Daniel defied the orders of the king in Daniel 6, how God rescued him from the lion's den. I also read the book of Esther, who said: "if I perish, I perish." (Esther 4:16) Indeed, if I perish, I perish. But I will never wilfully sin against God, the thrice holy God of the Holy Bible.

The words of the LORD strengthened me. It gave me the strength to say 'No' to my oppressors. Hence, my faith in the words of the LORD delivered me. God delivered me as he did for Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, and as he did for Daniel and Esther, and as he did for Noah and his family, because they trusted in him.

Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

Amen.
