Covid 19/Corona virus. Mask wearing. Social distancing. Hand washing. Wiping everything down with sanitizer wipes. No large social gatherings. Businesses closed. Churches & schools closed. Almost everything shut down. This is the course that we have been set on for the last year, plus. People are getting tired, fed up with it all. Ready to hang it up, drop back and punt if you will. This is not the way that we thought that the last year would go.
Isaiah 40:31 New Living Translation
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
I think that is what The Lord has been doing during this last year. Wanting people to put more trust in Him. Place our trust where it matters most and He will renew our strength for the next obstacle of our race, which have been many this past year.
People keep saying "What about all the trouble that this pandemic caused?" I lost my job, business, etc. etc.
John 16:33 New International Version
33 In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Jesus never promised us a trouble free life. 2020 proved that. But we can take heart, Jesus has overcome the world. With His help we can overcome anything.
So it seems right now that we are on the right track. Vaccine seems to be working. More and more things are opening up and letting people in. Slowly, possibly getting back to normal....ish. So if we keep our eyes focused on Jesus and what He can do for us. Not what the government says that they can do. We will be much better off.
So I urge you today to keep pressing forward. It may seem bleak for some, but remember, Jesus overcame the world, so can we!
