"The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"
Hebrews 13:6 NKJV
This is an amazing statement, one in which we should cherish and take on board. God is our helper; He takes away our fear and, He wants us to believe - totally, that man cannot do anything to us unless, He allows this, or if we are foolish enough to go and do what He has told us not to. If we do that, we are on our own, and this could explain why some Christians are hurt, killed or imprisoned. This verse relates very closely to Psalm 91:7: 'A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.' Whatever may happen to us on this earth is governed by God and He is in control. Let us face it, whatever may happen, even if we die, we will be alive in heaven, instantly; just like walking through a door. So really there is nothing to fear. We are protected but, if God says it's over, then it is over. He will protect us for the time allocated to us on this earth. However, when that time is reached, it is 'Hello heaven.'
For the time allocated to us on this earth, God will watch over us and provide angels to fight on our behalf and ensure we are protected. Storms of life may come against us but, as long as we are walking with God, He will protect and deliver us from them. Christians have also been known to pray against hurricanes that are coming their way and have watched as this blows around them and their house and themselves are still standing. Angels are very necessary at times such as this.
Some people have said when death strikes, 'Why did they have to die, it's not fair,' and, it isn't. However, we need to remember that God didn't even save His own Son when Jesus called out to Him (Luke 22:41). It was a task that Jesus had to complete for the sake of mankind; His time had come, and this demonstrates that time here on this earth is limited, governed by God Himself.
One thing is for sure, when athletes have finished their race, they are given a medal and it is so deserved. We, who run the race of life, will also be given an award. We don't know what that will be, but from what we read in the latter parts of Revelation, we know we are going to a place that is amazing. The thing is, our minds cannot comprehend it yet. However, be assured you will share this with Jesus and the Saints - eternally.
