Day 3 Sri Lanka
DAY 3
WHAT IF? You were asked to deliver Scriptures to Bible-less Christians living in a war zone—would you go?
Imagine if you were a Christian living in a dangerous war zone where death and persecution was a daily threat.
You are the local Bible courier, placing Bibles in the hands of Bible-less, persecuted Christians. You need to travel to a remote village, a 50 kilometer walk uphill across dangerous terrain that is frequently occupied by terrorists. There are 120 people who are secretly living as Christians in this Muslim village and they don’t even have one Bible. All of the Bibles they had were burnt over a year ago.
It’s up to you—do you choose to trust God and deliver “food” to these spiritually hungry Christians or do you choose not to go because of the possible risks? What would you do?
“I will say of the LORD, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust’.” Psalm 91:2

Wow...what a challenge. I guess if I clearly heard God say "go" to deliver Bibles to these spiritually hungry Christians I would need to trust him to protect me and keep me safe as I deliver His Word to them.
I probably would be quite nervous about going through such dangerous terrain to get there but the thought of encouraging so many Christians would be a real motivation. Plus, our God is much bigger than any terrorist! We need not fear. I would take a lot of encouragment from this verse:
Psalm 23 "The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?
When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, [a]when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall."
