I posted this several months ago. While COVID appears to be getting a little more under control, many are still suffering and I lost a family friend who will be buried today from it. The following still holds true;
Today I find myself broken and burdened for our country and its leadership. I can’t help but wonder if any are seeking the Lord in decisions. I find myself burdened for our leadership and those families who have been devastated by COVID-19. Many have asked if I think this is God’s judgment on America. Friend, you must remember that we live in a fallen world, and when sin entered, death and disease entered as well. I believe that God takes the opportunity to use and work sickness like this together for His good. As I write this, I find myself heartbroken for those God has placed under my care to shepherd.
Somehow I don’t know what to do, so I pray. Several, including myself and Marta, my wife, have suffered from this terrible virus already. Some are staying at home sheltered and shut-in. What trying times we are seeing. Yes, the burden is real. But then comes to mind the words of a song that we use to sing in church, “Trials dark on ev’ry hand, And we cannot understand, All the ways that God would lead us To that blessed Promised Land; But He guides us with His eye, And we’ll follow till we die. For we’ll understand it better by and by.” God has a perfect plan, and He will see it through. While He sees it through, I will cast this real burden on Him, for I cannot carry it alone. The Bible says, “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1st Peter 5:7)
Prayer is the key that unlocks the door to heaven, and it is time to seek God like never before and then to TRUST HIM COMPLETELY!
