Isaiah 31
While many cities and villages along the Indian Ocean suffered catastrophic losses from the December 2004 tsunami, the port city of Pondicherry, India, and its 300,000 inhabitants were spared. Just beyond city limits, 600 people were killed by the devastating tidal wave, but Pondicherry withstood the tsunami. Why were they protected ?
The answer began 250 years ago when France colonized the city. The French built a massive stone seawall. Year after year, the French continued to strengthen the wall, piling huge boulders along its 1.25-mile length.
The French stopped building Pondicherry’s seawall in 1957, but their work prepared them for a disaster that would occur five decades into the future.
Are you building your life ready for the future?
Some of you are standing today because of the investment you put in so many years ago. You refused to run to ‘Egypt’ to trust in man. You were not dazzled by their horses, their chariots and horsemen, their money, prestige, wisdom and strength. You gave your life to god and committed your way to Him and as a result He has promised to shield and deliver you, to pass over you like a bird hovering over its young and to rescue you.
The attacks will come to no avail. No value, no advantage. No profit. No effect. No benefit. Because you refused to trust in ‘Egypt’. Amen!
