Scripture Reading
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10
Thought of the Day
I hope you are beginning to settle down into our new normal, or at least what our lives will be for a while. Hopefully shorter than longer. It is important to keep up with what is going on, but to not overload on news. It might drive you crazy and can be depressing. We just need to stay home and keep our distance from others for a while. Hard, but important.
I have shared these words with you in the past, but it seems like we need to read these words today more than ever. Not sure who said it first, but they have become the subject of songs, title of a book, printed on many posters, and more.
Here they are. I love these words and I know you probably will too.
Do not be afraid of tomorrow; for god is already there.
We certainly have reasons to be scared of tomorrow. Heck, we are scared today. We do not know what tomorrow will bring. The good news is that whatever happens God is there. God is with us today and with us tomorrow. I find comfort in that. I hope you can too. Be careful out there.
Prayer
God, we know that You are with us no matter what happens. Thank You! Amen.
