Look at life from the perspective of eternity -we are on a journey and our destination in Christ is Heaven.
Sometimes the journey can be uncomfortable like a 9 hour flight, or going through customs and immigration but through it all God will give us grace and peace. We can choose to be absolutely miserable or to remain in the joy of the Lord. There will be seasons of walking through painful experiences, but it is a season. That season will not last forever, it is temporary. You may need help walking through that season,we are here at Walk Good in Christ to pray for you.
Here are some words to encourage you if walking through a season of testing or a difficult times - facing adversity and the corona virus
For Testing
PSALM 66
8 Bless our God, O peoples,
And make the sound of His praise be heard abroad,
9 Who keeps us among the living,
And does not allow our feet to slip or stumble.
10 For You have tested us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
11 You brought us into the net;
You laid a heavy burden [of servitude] on [a]us.
12 You made men (charioteers) [b]ride over our heads [in defeat];
We went through fire and through water,
Yet You brought us out into a [broad] place of abundance [to be refreshed].
Dueteronomy 8
2 And you shall remember [always] all the ways which the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart (mind), whether you would keep His commandments or not.
3 He humbled you and allowed you to be hungry and fed you with manna, [a substance] which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you understand [by personal experience] that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.
For troubled times - the Corona Virus
Psalm 46 Amplified Bible (AMP)
God the Refuge of His People.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to soprano voices. A Song.
1 God is our refuge and strength [mighty and impenetrable], A very present and well-proved help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change And though the mountains be shaken and slip into the heart of the seas, 3 Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains tremble at its roaring. Selah.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her [His city], she will not be moved; God will help her when the morning dawns. 6 The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered and were moved; He raised His voice, the earth melted. 7 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has brought desolations and wonders on the earth. 9 He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow into pieces and snaps the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire. 10“Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.” 11 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold [our refuge, our high tower]. Selah.
God is bringing you out, be encouraged – YOUR SEASON WILL CHANGE.
THERE IS A FINISHED WORK – CALVARY'S CROSS THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR VICTORY. Let's praise God while we wait
Psalm 100
A Psalm of Thanksgiving.
1 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness and delight;
Come before His presence with joyful singing.
3 Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, [a]not we ourselves [and we are His].
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name.
5 For the Lord is good;
His mercy and loving kindness are everlasting,
His faithfulness [endures] to all generations
David wrote this psalm and many of the other psalms at his lowest and worst moments
1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18
16 Rejoice always and delight in your faith;
17 be unceasing and persistent in prayer;
18 in every situation [no matter what the circumstances] be thankful and continually give thanks to God; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
WE CAN REJOICE BECAUSE WE TRUST GOD
Like Daniel facing lions or the 3 Hebrew boys being put in the fire
WE CAN TRUST GOD WHILE FACING COVID 19
Begin to look up, Look ahead
God has something wonderful ahead for you, Receive it and step forward in faith. Leaving the old behind - fear, doubt, unbelief. Come into the wonderful new life of peace and joy that he has for you
Your latter will certainly be greater than your past
That is what the word of God says and he says YOUR STORY ENDS WELL!
HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME
