SCRIPTURE READING: ISAIAH 54:14-17
Israel’s short-range Iron Dome air defence system has had a 96 percent success rate in intercepting rockets fired from Gaza during recent rounds of fighting between Israel and Palestinians, the military said. Developed by state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems with U.S. backing, to counter rockets fired from Lebanon that hit Israeli towns during the 2006 war with Hezbollah and from Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the system is said to have saved many lives. It has been in operation since 2011, according to a report on Reuter’s website.
Our text gives assurance of God’s protection over His people. Isaiah prophesied with pinpoint accuracy. His voice calms personal, family and national fears. In the few verses under consideration today, the nation of Israel was assured of deliverance and protection against the aggression of surrounding nations. The stockpile of weapons directed against them will do no harm as God deploys His heavenly ‘missile’ shield over the entire nation.
Our world is becoming more dangerous by the day. We hear of Mutual Assured Destruction – a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy that posits that a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by an attacker on a nuclear-armed defender with second-strike capabilities will cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender.
Believers in Christ do not need to fear. God’s ‘iron dome’ is more reliable than those developed by any nation. There is no need to seek protection elsewhere, outside God. He that keeps Israel does not sleep nor slumber. And no weapon fashioned against you shall ever prosper.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God’s banner over us is for our defense and deliverance.
