When
things look dark and dreary, can you believe this sign? If so, WHY?
Well, I can’t speak for others, I can only tell you that if God
loves you (and HE does of course) and you really love HIM, that HE
will be there throughout your life, guiding you, helping you and
protecting you – until that day when you see HIM face to face.
I
know these things are true because of experience. When I was a
child, I learned to lean on God because I was unable to change my
horrible situation and God answered my prayers. When I spent 1 ½
years on crutches, I learned to rely on both God and those who helped
me (especially, my girlfriend Linda, who has been my wife for the
last 51 years). Time after time, when I was without work, God
supplied opportunities I never could even have imagined. While I was
preaching, each and every day had lessons that helped me grow
spirituality. Make no mistake, things were often tight and many, many
days I worked two jobs ( and even three [for a short time] ). But
somehow I persevered.
The
Apostle Peter said…
1
Peter 1 ( World
English Bible
)
[3] Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his
great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] to
an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn’t fade away,
reserved in Heaven for you, [5] who
by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready
to be revealed in the last time. [6] Wherein
you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you
have been put to grief in various trials, [7] that
the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that
perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in
praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ— [8] whom
not having known you love; in whom, though now you don’t see him,
yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of
glory— [9] receiving
the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
Our
lives are full of situations, both good and bad – that is life. But
with God we have hope of a better life now and a perfect life with
HIM later. It is both sensible and prudent to be careful about what
you do in these uncertain times of the Corona virus. Just remember
this one thing…
EVERYTHING
IS GOING
TO
BE OK
