Shut Down And Shaken

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34

This is such a different type of world we are living in right now due to social distancing and quarantine because of a disease spreading like wild fire that even the US was not prepared for. What is happening? Most are forced into quietness because of new rules in place to help not spread the virus and eradicate it eventually. 

What do you plan to do today? Work remotely from home? Order groceries to be picked up later in the week? Go for a walk? Read? Play with your children? At least now people can go somewhere in many states and even thankfully travel by air again. 

When you think it is getting under control then poof the ugly disease giant reappears to torment people and erode modern society. Ultimately your trust should not be in doctors, medical breakthroughs, medicine, social distancing measures, and quarantine but in the living God who is in control. He tells us to ‘fear not’ and yes that means now during this time causing extreme anxiety among many. So the next time fear knocks on the door of your heart send faith to answer the door. 

PRAYER: Jesus I know there are many who have underlying medical conditions and for them thus time is rough. I pray for healing for many and for peaceful hearts even in this ‘stormy’ time in our world and know sickness is not your plan so heal our hearts and land. Help me walk by faith not fear. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
