I gotta tell you, as we get further and further along in this pandemic, the greater the division grows. As people look to various sources for information, for current theories or even for some sense of hope, it seems as though there is more confusion and less clarity. I am not going to get into who is right or wrong because regardless of what view I present, there will be someone who wants to convince me I am wrong. Social media is one of the biggest sources of dissention and strife. Try saying one thing that may be slightly controversial and I can almost guarantee you that that someone will grab hold of the opportunity to argue the point and begin to rally others to come against you. As things escalate, you look at ways to stand your ground and then, for many, they give up and either leave the conversation or delete it all together. There are times when some will come alongside and help defend but the hurt and confusion still linger. So, when this happens, what do you do? Do you call out for help or do you curl up in a corner and look for ways to escape and just disappear? What if I told you that help is as close as a prayer?
I look up to the mountains— does
my help come from there?
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!
He will not let you stumble; the
one who watches over you will not slumber.
Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
The Lord himself
watches over you!
The Lord stands
beside you as your protective shade.
The sun will not harm you by
day, nor the moon at night.
The Lord keeps you
from all harm and watches over your life.
The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and
forever. Ps 121 NLT
We may think we are alone, facing attacks without any help
at all but that is far from the truth. God is not one who leaves us to paddle
the boat without an oar, He is with us always and speaks of joy, grace and love
within the eternal relationship. He understands the pain we face and stands
ready to walk with us or even carry us when things get overwhelming, we need
only to ask Him to give us strength, to give us wisdom. There is none greater
than the Creator and none who can successfully come against our Lord.
This Sunday, we will seek His strength in these times of trial
and dissention. For those who wish to know more about the fellowship of Christ,
we invite you to join us either in person or watch online at 10:30 AM
