'Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a moment, until the indignation be overpast' ( Isaiah 26:20).

We are in crisis, one we have never seen before. But we need not worry, be overly anxious, or fearful. God is ever present. He is calling you,   His people to enter into your chambers and shut the door about you and hide for a moment until the situation is past. You may be asking, 'But what are the chambers where we are to hide?' They are the protection of Christ holy angels. The Word of God tells us that, 'The angel of the Lord encamps around about those who fear him and deliver them' (Psalm 34:7). We are living and dwelling in an awful time where there is fear, uncertainty, people mental issues are more prevalent than before, the government don't know what to do and the people are scared. In the midst of all this, God message is pointing His people to the only refuge they can trust in, their God. The God of heaven and earth, who is faithful; and no matter where they are, where they go and what happen, He will remain their God. When you think of the time we are living in - in lockdown and quarantine; think of Noah, how God shuts him and his family into the ark to keep them safe from His wrath. He is doing the same for His people at this present time, dispatching His angels to protect them from this dreadful pandemic. God is a loving  God and will protect all those who love and fear Him. He will protect them through life and death. When you cry out to God, He promises He will hear you. We must also remember, not because we are His children and doing the right thing; exempt us from earthly harm, dangers, sickness or sufferings. However, in the midst of it, He is there. Today, He is saying to you, "Wait with quiet faith, be confident in my plan, and be assured of my promise." Be ever grateful each day, pray and encourage someone. Keep looking to Jesus, be comforted because you know He is in control of the situation. Ask Him to allow you to help others in this time, whether it be a text, a phone call, through prayers, helping the elderly or those with disabilities to get their groceries, sharing the gospel with others from your home, share a testimony with someone who might be struggling, and many more things you can think of. So be not discouraged at what life throws at you, because God is with you through it all. He is making you new each day even in this time of crisis. He promises to take care of you and protect you, and He will.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
