Today I want to share a little bit of hope. While what we are going through rightly seems so big to us, there is something, or Someone, who is even bigger. It is time to dust off those Bibles and return to that God you have spent so much time running from. As big as this pandemic is, God is bigger. As out of control things seem to have gotten, it is not out God's control. Turn to Him and He will lift you up. Lean on Him, and He will carry you through.
It's easy to live in panic and fear when that is what we spend out time dwelling on. The heart feels what we fill our mind with, and this is no different. For today, I would hope that you all take the the following verses to heart and use it to fill your mind with the good, and your heart will follow. Think of the family you do have, the ones living with you, the sun shining, the fact that this will end, and that God will carry you through even this. Don't think of the great tragedy that is dragging you down, but pray to the greater God who wants to lift you up.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:6-8 NKJV)
Nice! I've missed these posts.
