Whew its been a crazy couple of weeks in the world. It’s my hope and prayer that all of you have sufficient toilet paper supplies, hand sanitizer, soaps, clean drinking water, appropriate amounts of food for nourishment in case you must stay home in a quarantine situation and your Rx’s and other necessities for living life.
One truth that I KNOW in my life of 56+ years is that the Lord God is forever and always faithful.
Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
God will use what the enemy meant for evil, for our good! He will allow the sin in the world to create circumstances and situations that HE alone can turn for the good of those who call and trust Him as God and believe on His only begotten Son as Lord of their lives.
Genesis 50:19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.
Romans 8:28 ESV And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
Don’t be afraid! There is a place that believers in Jesus Christ can go by the power of his Holy Spirit. We can crawl up in the lap of our Abba (Daddy in the most personal sense) in times of uncertainty, fear, disease, and hopelessness. We can go to the Word of God and find Him, who is the author of life and death, and most importantly the one who gave His only begotten son of God that whosoever should believe on Him should have everlasting life! We can find every circumstance and situation in the holy Word of God and SEE His response to it! There is nothing new under the sun, its all happened before and will again until Jesus returns.
John 10:10 AMP the thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
John 10:10 is one verse I go back to all the time. I remind my mind (thoughts) about WHO the author of sin is & who the ONE is that came so that we might have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance. 😊😁👍🏻.
The abundance of the Christian believers has gotten a bad rap of late. My response to that is in Gods Word you will read about His abundance. It includes land, family (wife, children, grand children, great grands and so on. It includes live stock! It includes business that provides jobs and income for families in our communities. There is nothing wrong with the blessings of abundance from God in our lives. Read the Word & seek the knowledge and discernment of the Holy Spirit before you make up your mind about anything. I promise you, everything that we will ever face in this life is covered in Gods Word. See Him and he will guide you into all truth for your personal life and your business life. The appropriate perspective to the blessings from God is to always allow those blessing to point back to Him! Also, remember to not judge others, so that your Father in Heaven will not judge you like you judge others.
1 Chronicles 29:16 New International Version (NIV)
16 Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you.
Job 36:31 This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance.
Psalm 66:12 You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.
Read the Word & seek the knowledge and discernment of the Holy Spirit before you make up your mind about anything. I promise you, everything that we will ever face in this life is covered in Gods Word. See Him and he will guide you into all truth for your personal life and your business life.
Let me end with this. Keep a godly perspective of all things in your life and praise Him for them daily! Trust Him with your life and the lives of those you love. We will all go through times of excess, abundance, and leaner times. times of peace and of war. Times of health and disease. We will experience life and death. We will have joy and sorrow. All human life is this way.
Take normal precautions in times of seemingly mass disease, viruses and alike. Look at the CDC to get your facts about what is currently going on in the nation. I know that I cannot trust mass media! They have created unnecessary hype that people have believed & acted on, thus now you might not find any toilet paper! For this reason, I look to the experts who have the data of past plagues and disease and that I believe IS NOT being fully reported by the mass media. They have ulterior motives which is selling advertisements…
Isaiah 66:5-14
Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:
“Your own people who hate you,
and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
that we may see your joy!’
Yet they will be put to shame.
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound of the Lord
repaying his enemies all they deserve.
7 “Before she goes into labor,
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen things like this?
Can a country be born in a day
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth
and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn over her.
11 For you will nurse and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance.”
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried on her arm
and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice
and you will flourish like grass;
the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants,
but his fury will be shown to his foes.
God is not sleeping. He is fully aware of this situation and of each of us. He knows the number of hairs on each of our heads. Nothing happens in our lives that he is not keenly aware of. He has a plan for each of us. He will never leave or forsake us. He will be with us, until the end of the ages. He is for us and NOT against us. He is in control and will allow this temporary circumstance to draw us closer to Him & his Holy Spirit will speak truth to our spirits so that we will KNOW Him and his great love and provision for us. Even in our physical deaths He has made a provision for our eternal souls. There’s a new life, new body, new Heaven and new earth that is coming. We can rest in His faithfulness and His love that endures forever and ever.
Love one another. If you have an abundance of toilet paper, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer or anything else and find some in need, share and know that Gods provision is sufficient. Check on your elderly friends, neighbors, loved ones to see what they might needs. Pray and don’t worry. Seek the Lord and He will guide your steps.
Blessings & His Peace,
