“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1
How can you really be convinced God is with you through thick and thin if your mind is constantly bombarded by negativity? Take our current crisis this past year of Covid 19 which literally made the US and other nations come to a screeching halt. Amidst all this do you feed your fear and panic constantly by updates from CDC and news media or do you choose to ‘fix’ your mind on ‘things above’. Turn off the reports and open your Bible and read Psalms. So much healthier for your mind.
I heard a simple phrase years ago and it said “Believe receive, doubt do without” meaning if you claim a scripture in one breath for healing and peace then in the next breath negate it by feeding the fires of doubt what good has your faith walk done? Stop listening to ‘experts’ of either ‘camp’ and start believing God for a miracle!
Covid has caused broken friendships, separated families, kept people away from nursing homes where the residents are already lonely before Covid hit, kept fathers from seeing the birth of their newborn, caused churches to not meet in person, canceled funerals, basically wreaked havoc when we need good one on one trusting contact, hugs, and handshakes. Mankind was made for community not isolation and if you aren’t praying for revival and a swift end to this major crisis you should be! Be strong in the Lord. Believe in your heart this will be over and then don’t feed your former fear. Pray for restored family relationships which have been fractured since February. Pray for a restored and renewed economy and people unafraid to fly on vacations. This has taught us many things but brother and sister escape from fear before enemy gets you on his side.
PRAYER: This disease which has been plaguing us has got to end. Fear has got to end. Arguments about mask wearing have got to end. Lord restore us to a sense of normalcy and let the truth around it all come out. May this stir revival in the hearts of men. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
