Coronavirus or flu not my greatest fear.

My prayers continue to go out for those all over the world affected by the dreaded Coronavirus. Also, for what we call the “common” flu which can turn deadly if not caught in time.

I stand on God’s promises: “Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee wherever you go.” From Joshua 1:9

Like you, I have family members working in the healthcare field, or in the public every day. Consequently, I realize their risk level is pretty high.

This centerpiece is on my kitchen table. I wrote names on tiny pebbles and symbolically put each one into the hands of an all-loving, all-knowing Father. I pray for them daily; the Coronavirus, the likelyhood of other illnesses, or accidents on the road are major concerns.

However, I have a much bigger concern; I don’t want any to die without Jesus. I’m selfish on this point: I want every single one of them to be with me in our Eternal Home in Heaven. The Bible teaches, there is only one way–Jesus!

Above all, I pray for their salvation; that they come to know the Free Gift Jesus offers to all.

Romans 8:28-29 reads: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Often, in the darkness of the night, I make my way to the kitchen, light the candles, caress the fingers, and touch the stones. As I sit quietly in the dark with candles twinkling, I remind myself that my family is in Good Hands. I need reminded often. I know I can trust each of them to the Father’s Loving Care.

Do you know Jesus?

Are you sure? Does your family know Him?

Let us pray one for another that God will touch hearts and change lives in the challenging times in which we live.

Let me hear from you soon,

Hugs
