Have you asked this question the last week? On Monday, I heard our city was extended the limited lockdown order until the end of April. While I half expected the decision, I was sad. Do you find yourself looking for a ray of hope?
This past weekend, we celebrated Easter without our granddaughters.
How was your Easter celebration? I would love to hear from you.
Anyway, I was thinking some of the stories from the Bible. One in particular that comes to mind is the story of Joseph. Joseph went through so much in his life such as being sold into slavery by his brothers and later imprisoned. God loved Joseph and never left him through every trial. Joseph’s story shows us how to have the right attitude through difficulty and misfortune.
Genesis 39:21, “the Lord was with him…”
Focusing on God in the before and the after will help us come out of this time of trouble.
Here is the hope you are looking for!
We may be in the middle of a pandemic, but God has never left us. He is right there beside us just like He was with Joseph.
We don’t have to wonder, God is here and He is for us!
Two months ago, I would have never forecasted this storm. I want to share a few things that I am learning through this storm.
Be strength-minded!
By that, I mean to spend time in the word. Say to yourself throughout the day, “I am strong in the Lord.” I included a couple of favorites below.
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak” (Isaiah 40:29).
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They soar on his wings like eagles; they will run and not become weary, they will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
Focus on being strong in the Lord. The storm is not over yet!
Blessings!
Happy Friday! We made it through another week. I woke up this morning hopeful and thankful! I am thankful for so many things in my life. I am thankful we have a God who loves us and is taking care of us. I believe God wants us to draw closer to Him at this time.
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20).
It took Paul over twenty years to no longer live for himself. It is a daily struggle and it gets harder every day when we have pandemonium going on around us. However, asking God what we can do for others allows us to take the necessary steps toward this goal.
Let’s go into the weekend hopeful asking God to guide us! Focus on the one who gives us this day our daily bread!
Have a blessed weekend!
