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.

Facing Giants alone

One of the most popular stories in the Bible is David and Goliath. The GIANT that terrified an entire nation. We all face GIANTS individually and as a nation. Some would argue war, drugs, or gang violence is today’s GIANT. Others may debate our president is our GIANT. Regardless of what it is, it’s how you face the GIANT that matters. David never saw Goliath as a GIANT yet the people ran with fear every time they saw him (1 Sam. 17:24.) Today is no different, whenever our ‘GIANTS’ appear on the news we cry out in fear. David was not in denial, he knew Goliath was a GIANT, standing over 9 feet tall (1 Sam. 17:4.) He focused on GOD his source not the GIANT the problem. David spoke continuously over his GIANT with GOD’S word (1Sam. 17:45-46.) What GIANTS are you facing? As a child of God and as a church family, face the GIANT like David. Speak over the GIANTS with GOD’S word. Stop speaking what you see but speak with what you know and believe; The Word of GOD. Walk by faith not by sight. 

Waiting on God can be hard

Waiting on God is hard. Many take matters into their own hands or do busy work trying to find an end to no means. 

Sarah couldn’t wait on God’s Promise for a child for Abraham, (Gen. 18:1-15) she took matters into her own hands by telling Abraham to sleep with Hagar (Gen.16:1-16). The hardest part of trusting God is for us to have enough faith to BE STILL and wait on God! When those doubting moments arise, recite: “Father God I trust you.... even though I don't see the end in sight I trust you!” Know that He is God.  Everything will fall in place in due season. 

Why are you so fearful?

Why at you so fearful? What are you afraid of? Whatever the situation, good or bad, God is with you. Be not afraid, trust in God’s word (Isaiah 41:10). There is nothing man can do to harm you! God is a refuge during trouble times (Psalms 46:1-3). Trust in God’s Holy Word (Isaiah 54:17). God’s love can endure any storm. Keep your mind on God, he will give you perfect peace (Isaiah 26:1-19). Praise His Holy name.
