Who’s in Charge?

In these distressing times of the corona virus pandemic there is one vital issue that demands a decision—whether to bow down in worship before the Lord our maker.

Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care. Psalm 95:6-7

For when we truly kneel our life before the Lord, then we acknowledge He is our God and entrust everything to Him. We love the Shepherd because He loves us, and we need not worry because He knows the way.

Sundown in a Dry and Thirsty Land

In the desert of coronavirus:

In the desert,
the heat shrivels up life.

In the desert,
only doubts form in the salty flats.

In the desert,
your trust in God begins to wilt.

In the desert,
love dries up and cracks.

In the desert,
you fight the thoughts of dying.

In this pandemic remember:

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
they make it a place of springs; Psalm 84:5-6

Take heart with God’s help, we can make this calamity place of springs.
