A category of human beings contains the individuals with heartache and regret. In that group can be the very presence of the eternal God. The presence of the arms of love and understanding can be sensed.

Psalm 34:18

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit.

No, life isn’t easy for most and extremely difficult for some. However in that cloud can be a silver lining.

Think about it.

So many healthcare organizations are in need of PPE’s.  So many individuals wearing PPE’s to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The most eternal PPE is the one that can only be acquired from God and this one is not in short supply, but unfortunately, is much neglected.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Come on now, take advantage of this protection for your sake and the sake of others. He is the only one who can get you through this.

Spring came early this year for Christians. It is time to get out the seed and start planting.

Galatians 6:7-10

⁷ Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸ For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. ⁹ And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. ¹⁰ Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Glad to be in the field with you people at this planting season.

America’s hymn

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
  That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
  Was blind, but now I see.

Legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli celebrated Easter Sunday with a special performance at Italy’s Duomo di Milano that was livestreamed all over the world.

He sang in English,”Amazing Grace”

The world heard it, but how many consider it?

The resounding truth is the unmerited favor of God to lost sinners with nothing to offer God is given to us freely.

Ephesians 1:7

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

Reaching a breaking point?

Here is a concept found in the Scriptures that gives us the comfort that He is very gentle with us and what little fire we might have He will never extinguish it.

Matthew 12:20

A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench,
Till He sends forth justice to victory;

In going through this time of uncertainty, it’s a tremendous comfort to be assured we are not without divine provision.

God bless you as you serve this day.
