Trust God in all things

Nowhere in the Bible does it indicate that if you are a child of God, Christian, or believer of the word you are exempt from suffering. Those who trust God will still suffer. God never promised a life free from some pain but he did promise never to leave nor to forsake us. 

Don’t lose faith or hope. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

Be anxious for nothing

It’s hard to runaway from the daily onslaught of updates regarding the uncertainty of the world today. People who have never felt anxious are being weighed down with fear, doubt, and not sure what’s next! In times like these, turn to God’s word and not our understanding. Be encouraged! Take time daily to seek God, pray, and most importantly read the word. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:6-7).

God is not listening to our prayers

God warned Solomon he would send pestilence to the lands if people would not humble themselves, seek his face and turn from their wicked ways (2 Chron. 7:11-13). Is the Coronavirus an example of God’s warning? God also promised Solomon he would heal the land (2 Chron. 7:14). People of God it’s time to take heed. God is not hearing the prayers of the church. It’s time for us all who are called by the name of (God/Yeshua/Messiah) to humble ourselves, pray, seek his face and turn from our wicked ways. If we do this, God said his eyes and ears will be open and he would be attentive to our prayers (2 Chron. 7:15). It’s time for humility. Praying. Seeking. Trusting God’s word.

Now is the time to pray

America’s state of emergency has everyone shook up! During this crisis  your faith will be tested. Trust in God’s word no matter how unstable the situation may appear. Now is the time God expects us to be like the children of Israel  - trust him. Stand firm. Walk in faith. Pray. Use common sense. 

Its never too late to work on your Spiritual relationship with Christ.  

+ Never-ending prayer [conversation]

+ Seeking to improve self spiritually

+Trust more in every word

+In return God makes  his presence known through the Holy Spirit. 

Don’t give up no matter how hard the journey. Trust more in God and express it through prayer and praise. Lift your eyes unto the hills from whence cometh your help Psalms 121. 

Think of Job during the Coronavirus

The world is encountering a Job like moment. Coronavirus has affected many indirectly and directly. How are you coping with it? Job lost everything; his family and wealth(Job 1:13-18). He faced his greatest calamity of painful bodily pain for months (Job 2:4-7). Job handled the initial attack well. He mourned and grieved but never questioned God’s sovereignty. Over time he did doubt, he even questioned God. The lesson for us all to remember don’t lose faith. Don’t doubt the power of God. Despite all Job endured, God’s hands was still covering him. Be safe. Stay prayerful. Continue to praise God. Don’t lose hope.
