Who could have imagined, a few months ago what would be going on in the nations of the world in this hour! This coronavirus pandemic has captured our conversations, our resources, in fact it has captured the world literally as it has touched billions of people. As believers in Christ we know God exists, we also believe He is all powerful, He is all knowing and everywhere present. His greatest desire is for us to come to Him and rest, as Mat 11:29 states “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from Me. For I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For my yoke ie easy, and My burden is light.” (NKJV) This is a marked time in history for the souls of mankind, we need to press in and desire to hear from the Lord. He will expand our understanding of how He is calling and directing the church to be instruments in these trying times. Many Christians are anxious and troubled, it reveals the reason for their distress. Some have never learned to rest in the Lord, they fail to experience the “quietness and confidence” of Isaiah 30:15; this posture comes to those who daily fellowship with Him through Bible study and prayer. Don’t become a victim of Fruitless Fretting! Instead, set aside part of each day to talk with God, thank Him for who He is and what He has done for you. Press in, listen, God is putting a heightened burden on our hearts. Then, by reading His Word and believing His comforting promises, you will witness your faith growing stronger and a supernatural peace will flood your soul. In uncertainty, He remains faithful because He never changes. He is our True Rest.

“When we put our problems in God’s hands, He puts His peace in our hands” (unknown)
