I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Even though things are kind of scary right now and our normal routines have been changed.
I really don't know what to think right now. You hear so much from the news, family and friends. Everyone has their own spin on what they have heard and what's going to happen. I for one know one thing for a fact....I am putting my trust in God to take care of my family and me. He always has and He always will. I will not even try to control or figure out this situation. I will not become a scared helpless woman after God and I worked so hard to get me out of that mind set. I trust Him and His perfect will; whatever that my be. He knows the beginning and the end even before I was born. God has our best interests in mind for all things and all things for His glory.
What I am going to do is stay in His Word, even if the church services get cancelled. I going to stand on His promises even when the television or Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or whatever Social Media platform tells me what "they know" is going to happen. I'm going to pray for eyes to be opened, hearts to be comforted, souls to be saved, family be forgiven and sicknesses to healed. I will not take on a spirit of fear! 2 Timothy 1.7 (NIV) "For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but fives us power, love and self discipline." (emphasis mine)
We have all we need in God. You can trust Him girlfriend, that I know for a fact. He is the same. The same. The same everyday. He does not change, His word doesn't change. The same. The One we can count on for ALL THINGS. Proverbs 3.5 (NIV) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." I know how hard it is to trust, especially when we like being in control. But guess what...if we could control this it would not have happened in the first place. I do not want anyone sick and die of this virus or anything for that matter. Especially without salvation. There is a reason for all this and it will be to His glory.
Since we have all this time on our hands now, lol. There are few books I have around the house I have read and plan to read. I love a good book. Also there are a few Podcasts I listen to. I would love to hear what you are reading or listening to. Email me or comment on this blog post.
As always, thank you for stopping by and visiting. If you need prayer or know someone in need of prayer you can always email me and I would be honored to pray with and for you.
Blessings,
Dawn
