Stand Firm And Hold On!

"But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:36)

God is in control my friend. When someone said back in early January we were in the “new

 roaring 20’s” it was quite an understatement! No one really knew at that seemingly calm time what was going to hit hard in mid March. Roaring Twenties indeed! 

So here you are in the midst of what some say is the new normal. I choose to say it is a bump in the road to wake the spiritually lethargic up from the stupor many are in regularly. When the comfort and convenience rug got yanked from beneath ‘we the people’ all control vanished. 

Are you in a daily panic or do you trust God has this and will handle it? Do you live in fear or do you have peace? No one really knows how this all happened but it is here and  God is way bigger than any virus on the face of the Earth. Do you choose to believe that this is NOT the new normal or do you constantly feed negativity with words that are far from hopeful? Maybe in 2020 we are being put in our ‘time out’ chair by God. Hopefully people can be drawn to Christ and not run away. Also never take freedom for granted.

PRAYER: Father this outbreak in our nation and around the world has caused confusion, fear, fighting, and really that is not the answer. Do we trust CDC and scientists or do we put our faith in the great healer and deliverer? In Jesus’ name. Amen.
