"When the solid ground is falling out from underneath my feet; Between the black skies and my red eyes, I can barely see; When I realize I've been sold out by my friends and my family; I can feel the rain reminding me. In the eye of the storm, You remain in control; In the middle of the war, You guard my soul; You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn; Your love surrounds me In the eye of the storm. When my hopes and dreams are far from me and I'm running out of faith; I see the future I pictured slowly fade away; and when the tears of pain and heartache are pouring down my face, I find my peace in Jesus' name. In the eye of the storm You remain in control; in the middle of the war You guard my soul; You alone are the anchor, When my sails are torn; Your love surrounds me In the eye of the storm".
No matter what is going on around us; no matter how bad conditions seem to be; no matter how devastated we may feel; we can rest assured that God Remains In Control in the midst of the storms. His Love continues to draw mankind to Him out of the storms; but He cannot and will not tolerate sin so we MUST search our hearts and come before Him humbly, repentantly, asking forgiveness, and invite Jesus to be the Lord over your life. He can still the storm in our life, bring Hope in times of distress, and has defeated every Disease we will ever face because He loves us regardless of who we are; race, creed or color, rich or poor, young or old; He loves us one and all!
As Children of God, I fear that too many have become comfortable in their salvation and have allowed their eyes and ear to be closed to laws God declared as sin; and look the other way when sin and wickedness abounds around them and their families. Have we become closed minded people(Christians) that we look away and ignore what is going on in front of our very eyes; while even tho' God said it was wrong but man says it's okay that we don't do or say anything in defense of God's Word? Are we (God's people) condoning sin instead of standing up and declaring "Thus saith the Lord" in the face of the enemy? God cannot and will not dwell among sin nor will He tolerate or condone sin in any shape, form, or decree. What His Word declares is True and No one or No thing can ever change the Word of God! It Lasts Forever and Evermore!
So now that this pandemic disease has overtaken the world, instead of being frustrated at quarantines imposed upon us and grumbling and complaining as the Israelites did in the desert when things are being put into place for our good; why are we not taking this time of seclusion to get on our knees, truly search our hearts, and repent of any wicked ways in us, and continue to humbly seek God's face so He will forgive us and heal our land? He declares in 2 Chronicles 7:14,"If my people that are called by His name (that's you and me as Christians) shall humble themselves and pray and seek His face and turn from their wicked ways, He would hear from Heaven and heal their land."
So today my question for you is this....Who Do You Serve; God or man? Are you okay with man made laws that go against the Word of God? Are you allowing evil influences to dwell within your home and in your family? Are you grumbling and complaining over restrictions imposed upon our land while dedicated specialists struggle to find cures for this dreaded disease? Are you so fearful and worried you can't turn off the news and media long enough to pray diligently? Are you remaining strong in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ who bore stripes on His back and was tortured and crucified for your freedom from Sin and Disease? Jesus has already told us that struggles of life will continue to take place as long as this world exists, but to fear not when tribulations come, because HE (JESUS) had already overcome them all(John 16:33). So why are we so fearful?
Let's stop complaining, stop being afraid, stop being critical of our leaders; and let's take this time of quarantine to seek the Lord with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. Let's be the Reflection of God's Love, of His Grace, and of His Mercy in Christ Jesus as we share Hope instead of fear with all those in need. Let's pray for our leaders and those over us as unto the Lord. Let's enjoy the Peace of God as we remember this is God's world that He created and has Full Control of, and we are His children through Christ Jesus; so let's enjoy this beautiful day He has given and the time He has given us to reflect on what is truly important in life; and let's rejoice in the knowing that God loves you; and so do I~~~
