The New Kind of Storm,
The Backside is
More Tumultuous
Than the Front
Jeremiah 8:21.22
For the hurt of my poor people I am hurt, I mourn, and dismay has taken hold of me.
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?
Why then has the health of my poor people not been restored?
Luke 10:8-9
Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you; cure the sick who are there, and say to them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.”
Words of Grace For Today
God has a plan.
The world is crazy with falsehoods, driven into so many corners and minds that many believe them to be truth, which is a danger to the survival of our species.
God has a plan for that, though.
The people hurt, God hurts, and other people are responsible, directly and indirectly, for the hurt and worse for the death of so many people.
God has a plan for that, too!
Our health care systems, as we are so privileged to have, are overrun and ground into near uselessness, by a virus, a pandemic, but most of all by the falsehoods that so many propagate, so much so it is difficult to imagine how this is. The effect is that across the globe the virus is levelling the ‘playing’ field, and our expectations of whether we will live another 5 years or not!
God has a plan for exactly that.
God’s plan is that the workers for God’s Kingdom spread across the globe entering every village and remote place where people live, to eat what is locally provided, to cure the sick, and to proclaim simply that ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ And to bring, share, and leave God’s peace everywhere.
So what is your day going to look like?
God has a plan for that,
and it is that you will be one of the workers for God’s Kingdom, ready or not!
Just saying, it’s another day for the saints.
