Are you a parent? If so, have you ever had a situation where your child really needed help, but had too much pride to just ask? You know the drill. They struggled, tried this and tried that, asked everyone else for help...except their own parent.
And as a parent, it makes us feel a certain type of way. I mean think about it. Your own child won't even acknowledge you. They won't even take into consideration how you feel. I mean for God sake! Aren't you their mother/father? Hmm....interesting isn't it?
How do you think God (Our Father) feels? When He sees us struggling; time and time again; trying to do it on our own; asking everyone else for help; going down the wrong path; wavering to the left and to the right...getting NO results.
The Bible says that we are to Trust in the Lord with all our heart and acknowledge Him in all our ways and He will direct our path (Proverbs 3:5-6). It even says that God will perfect those things that concerns us (Psalm 138:8). Friend, He cares about you. He cares about your well-being. He wants you to make the right decisions the first time. That's why it's so important that we honor God and seek Him first concerning every decision we make.
Trust me, it'll save a lot of wasted time going round and round in circles. Are you willing? Willing to...let go and let God. Willing to...stop wavering to the left and to the right...But stay on the straight and narrow path. The Lord Jesus Christ even goes before us to make crooked paths straight and we have the Holy Ghost which leads and guides us into all truth. Friend...We can't go wrong with God (John 16:13)!
Wow....Thank you Lord. I'm sure you already know what's going on around the world. I mean...how can you not know when it's on every news show, published in every newspaper, on every social media network, and mostly everyone is talking about it. Yep...that's right. IT is the coronavirus.
I'm sure you know all about the coronavirus by now. So, I won't talk about that. I'd rather focus on THE ONE who can actually do something about it. My friends...that is Jesus Christ. There is not a sickness and disease known to man that the Lord Jesus Christ can not or will not heal us from! Because He has already healed us by His stripes. There's a qualification though...you must believe.
God is the same, yesterday, today, and forever! He never changes and I'd rather believe Him / His Word any day over any man or woman. It takes this radical kind of faith to stay in peace during times of crisis. I'm not downplaying the situation. Absolutely not! But I will continue to minister and preach faith over fear!
Yes, I'm following health & government official's precautions about social distancing, washing my hands, using hand sanitizer, using cleaning products, doing fist bumps, elbow bumps etc...BUT GOD. I must say it was quite weird going to church service and sitting 6ft distance away from others. It's okay either way. The Holy Spirit still moved regardless.
We must keep our minds on the Lord at this time and stay in perfect peace. He is our only help. He is our only hope. Let's focus on THE ONE who has the solution to the problem. Peace & Blessings!
