Friday Writing...5/15/20..."GETTING THROUGH"

Good Morning,

Today we are looking at the challenges we are facing during the pandemic. It has been pointed out that God has a plan and we need to trust Him and His plan and wait patiently to see what it is and how it turns out.

Here is a quote from this writing, "If we become impatient and try to jump in and work in ways we think will help we will not be trusting God. However, we should just be patient and wait on the Lord. We do not know what His plans are. Still, we do know that He is the One upon whom we must rely."

Blessings to all,
Corinne Mustafa

"GETTING  THROUGH"

Written by 

Corinne Mustafa

We have been under "shelter in place" rules since the middle of March due to the danger of the raging Covid 19. This pandemic is spreading throughout the entire earth. People are filled with fear.

 Set your mind to things that you can do to get through this. First of all, we must look on the good side. People are showing kindness in ways that have are always not practiced. This allows  us to get to know them and see reasons to care for and admire them that we have never noticed until now. The members of our families are growing closer and more dependent on each other. They are spending enjoyable times together due to the lack of other distractions.

Here are some things that really benefit us. We have more time to read the Bible. We can work on a craft for which we haven't enjoyed in years. We can plant a garden be it flowers or veggies. The list goes on and on, and I leave it to you to be creative find something you will like.

We know that God sees what is going on. Thanks to Him we know that there will be an outcome that is based on His kindness and love. Hang onto this thought. We must not loose track of the fact that we can rely on Him. I really believe that in time we will see that He will make a move. The following scripture says what I am believing,

I am expecting the Lord to rescue me again,

so that once more I will see His goodness to me
here in the land of the living.

Psalm 27:13

We need to keep these things in mind. If we become impatient and try to jump in and work in ways we think will help we will not be trusting God. However, we should just be patient and wait on the Lord. We do not know what His plans are. Still, we do know that He is the One upon whom we must rely.

Unless the Lord builds a house, the builders’ work is useless.
Unless the Lord protects a city, sentries do no good.

Psalm 127:1
