STAY IN THE SHELTER OF GOD ~
Staying the closeness of a shadow is really close. Purpose to read the Bible, stay in faith and live knowing God is able to change thing in a moment's time. Let us not forget that God gives free will to people and in that free will, decisions are not always right. Purpose your decisions to be right, think of others too and stay in the shelter of God.
Psalm 91 (NIV)
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
During this shelter in place lifestyle, I've learned a lot. I've watched people actions over Facebook and noticed some who really follow the orders by our Governor and some that do not. I see how attitudes pop up, frustrations happen and lots of people are tired of life like this. It's going to be awhile still for life to become some type of new normal. We are living in the unknown times of a virus and people are still dying from it. It seems to matter more to people when it hits their family. Let us not wait for it to hit a person we know, but let us pray that God will stop this virus.
I've been disappointed in people. Watching people on TV not protect other people. Churches that open too soon and the government must stop them. Since we do not know all the answers, the best is to follow the rules and keep yourself safe too. What if one person in a church is a carrier of the virus, then they spread it to someone who spreads it to more. This is why we must stay away from people at this point. Let us be wise and let us be examples of doing what is right. It's not our right to go out without mask or gloves at this point. Not all Christians believe you should go back to church now. Everybody is trying to figure out what is best and until then, thank God for online services and that special connect still. Stay in the shelter of God.
My prayers continue for you, your family and friends. There are so many times when we must just rest in the shelter of God.
