Are you going back to what you know instead of utilizing what you have learned. We have been living like we have never lived before and we have been calling on God more than we ever have before. Will you continue? When the world decides to go back to life as usual, what will you do? Will you still call on and lean on God? Will you come out of our current situation utilizing the knowledge that you have learned. That knowledge being that we can do nothing and be nothing without God. God is the source of life. Jesus is our Savior. Money can’t save us. Jobs can’t save us. All the doctors in the world can make us comfortable, but they can’t save us. Life is full of lessons and one thing this pandemic has taught us is the importance of knowing God and knowing that there is life after death and we need to be living our lives here on earth in a way that secures how we will spend our eternal life.
God is a good God and He is faithful. He wants us to love Him and to trust Him not just today but every day. He wants us to live this life that He has given us for Him. It is His desire that we be living epistles here on the earth. Are you an open book that is filled with faith that is showing others how to trust God in the midst of the storms of life? Are you speaking words of faith and allowing people to read your life in a way that teaches them how to live by faith?
We’ve gone through a lot in the world over the past few weeks. Life has been shut down as we know it but now the world is ready to try to go back to life as usual. For many that means the life and the lifestyle that does not trust or depend on God. The life and the lifestyle that is dependent on mans way of doing things and ignoring God’s way of living. We have to walk in wisdom. We have to know the importance of being still and letting God be God. We have to make sure we are following God and not man and we have to trust God to supply our every need even as this world’s economy opens back up.
So today I want to say to you to use wisdom and don’t ignore the signs God has put in place. Follow God’s leading and not mans. Make sure you are still talking to God, leaning on God, and trusting God with every aspect of your life.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Matthew 8:23-27
King James Version
23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed Him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to Him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!
