“Be Still and Know that I am God”: Psalm 46:10

 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

During this crisis of the coronavirus pandemic, I am trying to provide encouraging words that will uplift our spirits and refocus our minds for just a moment.

Many of us are living through a time in our lives that we never imagine would happen. There are three points I want to highlight, and they are: (a) God is still in control. He knew these days were coming before the beginning of time. Nothing takes God by surprise. (b) This crisis will either bring us closer to God and we recognize Him for who He is and His sovereign powers, or it will drive away those who are already lost. (c) I truly feel that God is using this pandemic to clean house of the ungodliness and wickedness that is destroying our nation and world. Our country was built on Christian principles, and sin is presenting itself to give the appearances that overall, this country has walked away from its first love-God. The majority of us still believe and trust God. He is going to bring us through this crisis, because verse 1 of Psalm states, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. What we must do is trust God and our godly leaders who have our health and safety at heart. While it troubles me to see the many demonstrations against the very ones who are trying to protect us. 

Why this troubles me so is that it shows the magnitude of evilness and corruption that exists today. God has revealed the corruption that is smothering our country. Ephesians 6:11-12 comes to mind, which states; Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Allow me to leave these words with you; Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Do not be alarmed by the evilness and this crisis, because God got us.

A Healing of a Nation: 2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)

  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Our nation, our world, is in chaos and needs healing, so join me in a worldwide prayer asking God to heal our land. There is so much devastation. Everywhere you look, there is devastation, flooding in one area, fires burning out of control, hurricanes recking havoc that will take months if not years to recover. This scene is on display throughout the world. I receive notices of flooding in other parts of our world. Hunger and diseases are ravaging the country, fighting in other parts of the world.  People, we need to turn back to God.  We are members of the human race created in the image and likeness of God; therefore, let us pray for and love one another. This nation has many sins it needs to be forgiven for; therefore, let us humble ourselves before th...

Cry Out To The Lord: Luke 18:35-43 KJV

  And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36   And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37  And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38  And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. 39  And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.   And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41  Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. 42  And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. 43  And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. The story of the blind man indicates many in our world today crying out for help; the questi...
