#27 FEAR NOT... This Day!

Eli’s daughter-in-law – Phinehas' wife, was forcefully led into early child delivery at hearing of the capture of the LORD’s Ark, and the death of her husband and father-in-law. She gave birth in labour pains and as she was dying in despair and hopelessness as a result of the happenings around her family, the woman attending to her perceived she was discouraged and low-spirited, and she tried to cheer and encourage her by breaking to her the good news of a successful birth of a baby boy in the bid to comfort her and uplift her spirit. 

It is usually a source of joy and celebration for the family and the woman who gives birth to a male child. (John 16:21) but she never acknowledged the efforts of the mid-wife, neither did she regard all attempts; nor was the least affected with joy and pleasure at what was related to her; but was overcome with grief of what had happened, not only to her family but more especially to the ark of God. 

It is human to be engulfed with grief and despair with events and happenings around us. God has never left us in our lowest moments but is always ready to bring us a source of joy, strength and encouragement. 

Are you overtaken by heartbreak and grief, are you in despair? Look around and see the works of the LORD around you and be restored in the strength and might of God. Fear Not! But be comforted and strengthened.

From: His-Legate - 2Cor. 5:20
