Don’t get angry at politicians, China or the Corona virus.
None of this surprises the Lord and it has a purpose if you are faithful.
Psalm 37:7
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Good time to read the Word, study and pray.
We have a bigger shortage of these three things than toilet paper.

So you have a hard time thinking God is considering you. You think maybe His thoughts are on the major political and religious personalities. Remember that they weren’t invited to the birthplace of Christ but the shepherds were.
Matthew 10:29,31
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
He is concerned about you.

Lacking in self-esteem? So was Abraham. You have that in common with him. We have evidence that God listened to Abraham and He will listen to you. As such, you can make a difference in others’ lives too.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.
Give it some thought.

The prophets were instructed to comfort a captive people in a foreign land. It was a time of confusion and trial but comfort would come from the Word of God.
Isaiah 40:1
“Comfort, yes, comfort My people!”
Says your God.
Fox, CNN, CBS or Facebook will not provide what is necessary for peace of mind during the present crisis but the Word of God will.
Think about it.

You might say, “You don’t realize what I’m facing.” (Really) Is God missing in this equation?
Matthew 10:16
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Go out there and be assured as Christians God is with us.
