Greetings Balance Family Members,
I pray that all is well with you at this time. Life as we’ve known it has changed for everyone. The Coronavirus has attacked the lives of many people throughout the world. As we turn on the television, we are hearing that the virus is continually spreading and will most definitely get worse before it gets better.
I greet you with a word of peace, to remind you, that none of this is a surprise to our Father God. Don’t fear! God is in control. As people of God, you must use wisdom. You should practice social distancing, wash your hands often, stay home as much as possible, cough into your elbows, and try not to touch your face so much, however YOU SHOULD NOT LIVE IN FEAR!
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7 Fear comes from the devil. Don’t let him use the Coronavirus to strike fear into your heart. Use the power, love, and sound mind that God has given you to resist him. This is the time to exercise your faith and trust God. Don’t be foolish and tempt God. Use wisdom and trust him.
God has promised to never leave or forsake his people. And the good news is that the promises of God are sure. He’ll never go back on his promises. Yes, there is great affliction in the land. The pain and suffering is real, but the people of God have his promise. “There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.” Psalm 91:10 If your trust is in God, you don’t have to live in fear. TRUST GOD, HE IS IN CONTROL!
