Be
On Guard. Stand Firm In The Faith.
Be
Courageous. Be Strong.
And
Do Everything With Love.
Scripture
1
Corinthians 16
Observation
Being
strong and being courageous is not the same as being careless,
irresponsible and reckless. If you ignore what our government leaders
have asked us to do to help slow down the spread of this virus, that
my friend is not courage, it is being totally irresponsible.
If
we as believers get recognized by the national press lets get
recognized because of some good works that we are doing and not for
showing disregard for our neighbors by defiantly huddling up together
and possibly spreading the disease to our family and to our
neighbors.
What
is happening right now in New York City could happen right here in
Tampa. All we have to do is to continue to ignore “social
distancing” and the stay at home order.
Had
to get that off my chest … had to vent …
What
do I need to do? How do I need to respond?
I
need to practice verse 14, “I need to do everything with love.”
What can I do to help someone today? Who needs a phone? Who needs a
meal?
I
am reminded of my life verse found in Matthew 5:16
“In
the same way, let your light shine before men, so that they may see
your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”
Application
I
will call people that the Lord puts on my heart. Kathy and I will
encourage a family by getting a meal delivered to them.
How
about you?
Hebrews
10:24
And
let us consider how we may spur one another on
toward love and
good deeds,
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray for wisdom. Show me how to respond during this crisis.
I want to be helpful to the people around me and not a hindrance. Put
on my heart the right things to do. I pray for my family, my church
family, my neighbors, and my friends. Keep them safe, Lord. Show us
how to live in a way that always brings You glory and honor.
