God's Word.

2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 15-17.
"When you were a small child, you were taught the Holy Scriptures; and it is these that make you wise to accept God's Salvation by trusting in Christ Jesus. The whole Bible was given to us by inspiration from God and it's useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives; it straightens us out and helps us do right. It is God's way of making us well prepared at every point, fully equipped to do good to everyone."

The times are pretty rough and you may feel at risk of loosing everything. Decisions are difficult to make, words are spoken in the hopes of helping others. You are trying so hard to be positive, to gather all the information and to take the appropriate steps in order to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
   You want so bad to trust in God. You do not want to miss any opportunities to live a life that pleases Him. You want to be available with the right information and the right guidance to help those you care about, let alone anyone else who is feeling unsure. Is this the end?
   Has it come to the point where you are to trust in the government and their directions? You are watching everything you have worked so hard for, just disappear. You are watching as everyone and everything around you is struggling to make heads or tails of what the future holds. You are not alone in this battle. Everyone around the world is being affected. You are afraid of it coming close to your life. You know there is a possibility of death and you hope that it does not affect you or anyone else.
   Wow, in such a short time, things have so drastically changed. What are you to do? No matter what happens, trust in God. Jesus went through more than you could ever imagine, just so you and I could have a life with God. The bible is God's word and direction that is there for us to use. All the answers to every question, worry and concern, is there in the bible. Given to us by God and made available to each us through Jesus. 
   Each of us have our own thoughts and ways of dealing with stress. But it is through your relationship, with God, that His Scriptures talk directly to you and your situations. You are to leave everything in His hands. He is the one who is in control. We do not know His plans, but we do know that He is holding us safe in the palm of His hand. You are going to make mistakes, but it is by His grace that we are saved through the redemption of Jesus Christ. 
   It is normal to worry, it is normal to be frightened. It is normal to say things and do things that are out of fear. In order to know the direction you need to take and where to go when mistakes are made, you need to seek out God's direction. You need to talk with Him and hold close to the Scriptures.
   You need to focus on Jesus and be prepared to ask for forgiveness. Be prepared to pray with others and be prepared to handle the fears brought on by worry. Trust in Jesus for He is praying with you. He is the light onto your path, that keeps you safe from harm.
   There is a real threat. It is no different than all the other battles we have fought and that God has brought us through. Maybe you once were lost from God and did not know Jesus. But now you do and you have been so thankful to Him for His saving grace. You can see over and over again the many times He has protected you from disaster. You are so thankful to Him for His love.
   Take hold of His Word and come, rest in the wonderful love of Jesus. Talk to Him and let Him know all your concerns. You are His child and He will be right there with you. He will be your song of praise in your times of trouble. It is your joy and strength that comes from Him, that will fill your heart with gratitude. You will have the words that are needed to help others in their stressful times. Jesus is with you, and works through you, to bring glory and honor to God.
   Thank you Father for Jesus. Thank you for Your never ending love and Your word that is our needed light everyday. 😊   

Romans chapter 3 verses 23 and 24.
"For we all sin and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption of His Son Jesus Christ.

Joshua chapter 1 verses 8 and 9.
"Constantly remind the people about these laws, and you yourself must think about them every day and every night so that you will be sure to obey all of them. For only then will you succeed. Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

2 Timothy chapter 4 verses 3-5.
"For there is going to come a time when people won't listen to the truth, but will go about looking for teachers who will tell them just what they want to hear. They won't listen to what the Bible says but will blithely follow their own misguided ideas. Stand ready, and don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Bring others to Christ. Leave nothing undone that you ought to do."

John chapter 1 verses 1 and 2.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made."
