Who is going to claim that they are right in times like this? Who is going to point a finger and say my faith is greater than yours? Some will claim faith, yet others will claim wisdom. But, don’t you know that God provides them both!
Why are many exalting themselves, as others are preparing themselves? Don’t you remember that each man must give an account? Guard your soul, guard what Christ has stewarded you to manage but, remain humble through the process.
Matthew 23:1-12
1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant. 12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted
In lure of Covid-19, and the effects it’s having throughout the world there is a silent voice that can be heard which is not being broadcast by any media outlet nor emergency briefing. It is the voice of one calling in the wilderness of your heart especially during this period of uncertainty.
You have shrugged it off, have been in denial, and have attempted to manage these concerns by keeping yourselves busy. You’ve said “everything will return to normal, life is good, and things are great. For sure our government will find a cure, and our scientist will rectify this problem”. While you and I wait, I encourage you to listen to the whisper of God.
Times are changing, things are changing, but God will never change. Seek him, set your heart towards him, and he will answer!
1 Kings 19:11-12
11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.
12 After the earthquake came to a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came to a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
