Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. As I met with the Author and Perfecter of my Faith on this new day of a new week I began to pray for this dark world and I pleaded with the Great I AM to open the doors of Opportunity for me to share the Good News. The Bible says that I am “the light of the world” which means that if I walk the walk I talk about, my Light has the potential to snuff out the darkness. Although the Journey of Life isn’t easy right now, and it’s destined to get tougher, I am CONFIDENT that I was born for such a time as this and I’m a whole lot more excited than I am troubled because of it!

This morning, our Compassionate God whispered Hope into my Heart that is intended to be shared with you. My prayer for you is that your Faith will be Strengthened for such a time as this and that you will “run and not be weary – “shall walk and not faint”.

Here are the reminders for you today…

He’s the same “yesterday, today, and forevermore” – the same God who healed the sick, raised the dead, and parted the seas has the world in the palm of His Hand. HAVE NO FEAR.

There is “nothing new under the sun.” What we walk through today has been walked through before. The only thing that matters is HOW we walk through it. STAND FIRM.

Nothing happens that doesn’t filter through His Hands first and He always has a Purpose much bigger than the problems. TRUST HIM.

He’s our Shepherd – He “leads us beside still waters” – He “prepares a table for in the presence of our enemies” – He leads us “to the path of righteous” and He can restore any soul. With Him, we want for nothing. FOLLOW HIM.

The same God who made the sun stand still for a battle to be won can produce a miracle out of the direst of circumstances. WALK WITH HIM.

The same God who sent His son to die so that we might have Eternal Life is sending Him back again and He’ll call His followers to be with Him forever and ever. ACCEPT HIM.

My God is bigger than any sickness. He’s bigger than an empty pantry. He’s bigger than a lost paycheck or an empty bank account. HE’S OUR HEALER AND OUR PROVIDER.

The sun will come up in the morning just like it always does and He’s the God of a million New Beginnings. Some will begin this New Day with a world of opportunities to be a Light for Him in a dark situation…sadly, plenty of others never will.

Some will draw their last breath today while many will be drawing their first.

Some may die by way of a mysterious ‘virus”, some will die of something else BUT ALL will die at the Time God allotted to them. God can’t be robbed. Nobody dies “too soon” and nobody dies too late. No matter what, the God of Heaven won’t be surprised to see them.

He’s the Alpha and Omega – the Beginning and the End…the Prince of Peace, the Great Physician, the Bright Morning Star, the Everlasting Father and He is always Working. He NEVER leaves His Throne. He NEVER forsakes His children. BE COMFORTED. WORSHIP HIM today…” for He is worthy”

Now go take on the day like the Warrior you’re intended to be, overflowing with Peace and Hope.

Share Christ-like compassion.

Be respectful of our leaders.

Be generous.

Don’t hoard.

Don’t fret.

Don’t worry.

Share the Great I am with everybody you can and Celebrate the Victory that is soon to come.

Be encouraged.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
