Psalm 25:12 “Who is the man who fears the LORD? He will instruct him in the path chosen for him. “
Today many of us are confused. We want to help those who are oppressed but we are not sure how to begin. Some of us are reeling from the loss of jobs or damage to our communities. Each day seems to bring new and conflicting information about COVID – 19. “Wearing a mask helps.” “Wearing a mask only helps if you are sick.” “Wearing a mask doesn’t really help at all.” “Take this supplement/treatment for protection.” “No! That supplement doesn’t work.”
Many of us are fed up with news sources and social media. Where can we get reliable guidance? The only Source we can truly count on is the One who made us in the first place, the One True Living God. God is the Source of all wisdom and knowledge and the Source of all peace and tranquility. Apart from God, all other answers are temporary and ultimately meaningless.
Psalm 121 says:I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
2My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.
4Behold, the Protector of Israel will not slumber or sleep.
5The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.
6The sun will not strike you by day nor the moon by night.
7The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.
8The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
“But,” you say, “I am not sure that I even believe in this God you are talking about.” Fair enough. SO, pray to Him anyway. Ask God to make Himself real to you and to show Himself to you. God is a good Father; He does not play charades with His children. What do you have to lose? Only your misery, your uncertainty, and your inner turmoil. Let’s pray.
Dear God, some of us are not certain that You are even here. Please show those who are searching but doubting that You are real and that you have power over every part of their lives. Guide those who are looking for direction. Give peace to those who need peace. Grant wisdom to those who need wisdom. And let them all know you as their loving Heavenly Father. In the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.
