God is with us!

Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5 and 6.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all you do acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."

With all the uncertainty going on, How are you coping with finding understanding and peace?
   There is so much information. There is so much denial. How are you to make heads or tails of what is going on if you cannot control your own emotions. The one way people cope is by finding something to believe in and to focus on. So what is that for you?
   Is it finding ways to continually keep things clean? Is it how to keep yourself busy? Is it doing nothing and worrying about the future? Is it ....... Whatever your ways of coping are, know that you cannot control what is happening. You can accept what is happening and you can take proper precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones. But what is happening is not just going to go away because you want it to.
   No one likes to be told that they have to do something and that they have to do it this way or that. There are always opinions and emotions to deal with. No one likes to be backed into a corner and then told to stay there. Those scenarios lead to the uprising of tempers.
   How do you think Jesus felt when people were quick to accept His amazing healing power and tremendous miracles? Everyone enjoyed watching and seeing what He could do, but when it came to understanding how He could do, what He could do, people struggled with accepting His answer.
   God has tried so hard to get people to love Him and to trust in Him to take care of them. As long as everything is going good then there is no need for God. As soon as trouble arrives, we try to solve the problems with what we think is the best solutions. And when things get worse we may turn to God and ask for His help.
   God does care and He does love all people, but He is looking for those who are looking for Him. If you are looking to Him, in all you do, to help you and guide you, then you will know His amazing love for you. Jesus asks; why worry? For worrying does not add any time to your life, it only takes it away. We are to trust in God!
   Jesus never lost one moment of faith and happiness in knowing that God was with Him. He talked with Him all the time. Knowing that God was with Him always. We are to be the same. God wants our eyes and thoughts to be focused on Him. All the time. Through the bad times and in the good times. He wants us to talk to Him about our concerns, trusting that He already knows the direction we are to be taking. We are to give Him praise and thanksgiving all the time for His wonderful love. It is in our joy that He works best.
   Through our commitment to Him, it is our joy and peace that is seen by others. Even thought they may not understand and maybe they have a hard time accepting what we believe, but they still see how happy we are. How we enjoy the life we have. It is God's children that know where they are now and where they are going to be in the future. In the palm of God's hand and all because Jesus made that possible for us.
   Thank You Father for Jesus. Thank You that You are with us now, always and forever.😊

Isaiah chapter 26 verses 19 and 20.
"Yet, we have this assurance: Those who belong to God shall live again. Their bodies shall rise again! Those who dwell in the dust shall awake and sing for joy! For God's light of life will fall like dew upon them! Go home, My people and lock the doors! Hide for a little while until the Lord's wrath has passed."

1 Peter chapter 5 verse 7.
Let God have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. Be careful---watch out for attacks from Satan, your great enemy. He prowls around like a hungry roaring lion, looking for some victim to tear apart. Stand firm when he attacks. Trust the Lord; and remember that other Christians all around the world are going through these sufferings too."

Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 11.
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
