Trying Times

These are trying times. There are so many willing & able bodied people out of work. Jobs are scarce. Finances both personal & institutional are unstable. people are losing their homes, selling their possessions, running up credit cards and doing anything they can think of to survive. Even if you are doing ok it wreaks havoc with your nerves knowing so many are struggling and in crisis. That’s how it is right now and we have to live through it.

Remember this?
Mr. trouble never hangs around,
When he hears this Mighty sound,
Here I come to save the day!

Reaching into the closet for my Don Quixote stick and my hero suit –
Oh rats the closet shrank my hero suit. OK, which one of you dogs chewed up this stick? What is a body to do? Where does a body turn? First, don’t believe in a cartoon! Oh, puh-leeez people you need a place to turn that is safe, unchanging and rock solid. You need a Savior that would die for you: A person who could calm your fears & doubt. One who could end envy, jealousy, anger or rage. And indubitably wipe out guilt, shame, depression, anxiety, addiction & infirmity.

A pearl to string: Who could that be? Lucky for you I know! God reigns in all those places and He sent His Son Jesus so we might live here on earth in His grace and be with our Father for all eternity. Oh yes, it’s quite true. The Bible will tell you so.

John 10:9 “Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture” (Food for his soul in all circumstances). “This is my Father's will: That everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him to life on the last day." John 6:40

Oh my beloved friends this is the eternal, unchangeable will of God. Find hope and peace in this truth for these trying times and all of your times.

Rekindle the joy in your heart
You are loved,
