The Name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10




The citadels of the countries of the world trembled at the onslaught of Corona virus. Even now we hear about its dread through the news media on a daily basis.

Right at the onset of Covid-19, European countries reeled under blitz of this plague. In Spain several people died. Nonetheless, in a certain city in that country, not even a single person was affected.

The city named Zahara De la Sierra is built up on a mountain top. It is built like a fortress. On March 14th its doors were all closed. The cleansing work was carried out very zealously. One thirds of the total population are above 65 years of age. However, they are all safe.
In this country where more than 27 thousand people died due to covid-19, the people of Zahara are safe.

Santiago Galvan, the city mayor who is barely 40 years old, worked very responsibly and zealously for the safety of the people. While several people from neighbouring places died due to the plague, the people of Zahara were safe under the supervision of its Mayor, and still living happily in the city.

For You have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall. Isaiah 25:4

If the people under the rule of the city mayor Galvan were without fear, how much more should we be fearless, who are the citizens of Christ Jesus, the King of kings.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. -Proverbs 18:10.
 
The Lord is our fortress and shelter. We are dwelling under the shelter of the Most High and under the shadow of the Almighty.
The Lord is the king over all the earth. He is my shepherd and my Lord.

Heavenly Father, this day I commit my life into Your hands. I find refuge under Your wings. In Jesus name. Amen.
