Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together. Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
Come, let us tell of the LORD’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.
Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!
Psalm 34:3
The world has been forever changed these past 18 months during the Pandemic. This malevolent and hideous virus has spread it’s ugliness, and wrapped its way around people, in ways that we could never have imagined. Not just in our neighborhood, but across the ocean. There was, and is no where to “hide” from this. No where to run. It showed up uninvited, and pushed its way into our faces, our routines, and our world.
Many lost loved ones, many have gotten sick, and thankfully a vast majority have recovered. Some have gotten worse in terms of anxiety, health, depression, and in uncertainty of life overall. Some have grown skeptical of others, while harboring resentment and anger towards those with a different perspective, or view of this pandemic or religious views and political assignment.
Although it has been hard, and difficult to watch our world change so rapidly. Because we know that life will never be the same since this showed up unceremoniously, and lingered like a “guest from Hades that truly doesn’t want to leave.”
There are many scenarios I could mention, but you’ve grasped the gist of my segue into an important message. Throughout this ordeal, there is only one thing that remained constant, pure, relentless, and never changing. GOD.
GOD and His love.
GOD and His promises.
GOD and His Word.
GOD and His infinite Omnipotent and Sovereign power.
Praise and Glory we sing to Thee O’ LORD and Savior.
It’s a feeling of comfort knowing He is with us. Knowing that His Word resonates throughout the Universe, of those who follow Him.
It’s a feeling of surety, when we follow Him, because our footing is secure in His path.
Our foundation is strong and able to sustain the shaking that surrounds us.
Provisions are within our grasp because He will always “provide,” and offers us gifts from above. That is to say, the “Father of lights” where all good things come down from. (James 1:7)
We can believe and trust in the LORD, for He cares for us and will never leave us, nor forsake us.
He is there for us, always. We will lack for nothing.
We have nothing to fear.
He is in control, this very moment, and He always will be in control.
No matter what. Just trust Him.
As Jesus said in Matthew 6:
“Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof…”
Glorify Him, praise Him, with others, or alone in your room. When ever you can. Where ever you can. Praise and glorify Him, and magnify Him. For He is worthy, and our one true constant source, of life and peace.
No matter what’s happening around us, or near us, no matter what…please just remember, there is a far Greater One that is in us, than the one that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
Jesus is victorious, and therefore, so are we through Him. Amen.
(1 Corinthians 15:57)
“Father, thank You for Your constant Presence in my life, help me Father to be ever aware that You are with me through all the days of my life, and You will never forsake nor leave me, thank You for the Victory, in Jesus name, Amen.”
