Changing in Times of Challenge - Dohn W Norwood
Foreword
Continue Steadfastly in Prayer – Colossians 4:2
As I write these lines in a small cottage in Los Angeles, it is the beginning of a new year. There is nothing apparent in its newness; Death is stalking the world in the form of Covid; as of yesterday, one person was dying every ten minutes in Los Angeles County. Our hospitals are overwhelmed, stricken patients are on gurneys in hallways and even gift shops, and they are the lucky
ones; many ambulances and emergency vehicles are being turned away from hospital doors. My eldest son told me yesterday he received a neighborhood text from L.A.P.D and the L.A. Fire Department encouraging people to be safe,
because if they called 911, chances are, no one will come.
These are dark times, the Enemy is rejoicing, oh how he will twist these events into his own tools of Doubt and Deceit. He whispers into the ears of believers, "So this is the fruit of your Savior?" How busy he must be constructing personalized lies for us all.
Just a week ago, we celebrated the birth of our Christ in another dark time, a decree went out the whole empire should be counted and taxed, as recorded in Luke 2. A taxing time, a time of trials and tribulations, not just for the world in general, but for Mary and Joseph in particular. How could this be? Joseph must have thought, my virgin
wife pregnant? Not only must he bear this fact that must have triggered ridicule, but he must make an arduous task to a distant city, still loving Mary and taking some succor in her stoicism in her quiet endurance of her swollen condition, which must have been further extremely uncomfortable on the back of a mule.
And surely, they must have had an unspoken dread of Mary nearing her delivery date with no place to give birth. Doors to inns literally closed in their faces. You know the story. Out of the darkness our Savior was born, and I have always loved the angel appearing before the shepherds, proclaiming great news, great joy, even in the dark times. The multitudes in the heavens praised and sang Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to people he favors!
It would be a long time before Jesus could grow into adulthood and walk among us as he did and does today. Yet the Enemy is wise and crafty, but there was nothing he could do to stop Mary’s delivery in that stable, the portent of our own delivery into Christ, our ultimate salvation. We only have to call on Him and dwell in Him and pray to Him for our deliverance.
It is cliché to make a list of New Year’s Resolutions, yet I again to resolve to enter into my prayer life more earnestly. Ever pick up your book of daily devotions and find the page marker set in the previous week or month? I confess I have, more than once. Do I
