Major challenges -- like the coronavirus and all its effects -- have a way of bringing us back to the basics.
And thee most basic truth to return to today is:
God made us to live by trusting Him.
... Store this in your heart, pronto -- it's more important than toilet paper!
In the beginning God created us to live in union and communion with Him.
With the fall of Adam, this relationship of reliance was broken...
... and ever since we've preferred to rely on our own ability and self-sufficiency than Him.
But times come that reveal we're vulnerable... and don't control the future.
When this happens, God gives us an opportunity to reset ourselves... and live by total trust in Him.
And, when we respond to these moments by turning to Him in faith, He takes away our anxiety and gives us rest.
With so much uncertainty right now, take care to keep trusting His goodness and sovereign care over all who believe in His name.
We may not know what the coming days and weeks may bring, but we can be certain He will never leave nor forsake those who depend on Him.
The only way to keep your head in all that may lie before us is to watch over your heart... making sure you're continually trusting Him.
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped" (Ps.28:7).
