'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

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
