Dearly Beloved Brethren & Family,
Lord Jesus said-
“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.””
John 16:33 NLT
Yes, it is scary. Specially, when we let our attention focus on what's happening on the ground in every parts of the world, aided by real-time instantaneous and at times hyperbolic fake news and social media inputs. We are in an ever changing world equipped with technology that can bring us both good and bad news in seconds. Technology can be both a blessing and a curse, specially if we let it handle us vs us handle it.
Not brushing off the seriousness of the reality, I say AMEN🙏🙏🙏 let's stay looking up unto Our Lord and be in the presence of God Our Father and lean on Christ Jesus our Lord.
This is His declaration of assurance:
“........“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; ....."
Isaiah 43:1b-3a NKJV
Yes, as we recognize the enormity of the war we all are waging - from all of those on the frontlines of this battle to the innocent victims and to everyone of us, let's surrender it all to God and lay this burden at the foot of the Cross. The power of resurrection is all we need.
Let's do our part as The Holy Spirit guides us with His wisdom. Follow the hygiene and social interaction protocols.
And, foremost, let’s heed the counsel of God’s holy and written Word -
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
Then, We know He is with us-
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalms 23:4 NKJV
And... victory is already won:
“For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.”
1 John 5:4-5 NLT
❤️Grace and peace in Jesus name, AMEN🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
