“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:7-8
Right now, we are dealing with a lot of changes and concerns from the coronavirus.
What is bothering you the most?
Many people are asking for our trust such as politicians, celebrities, doctors, and media personalities. Beyond that, there are thousands of websites with “information” on the pandemic.
Can we trust them?
Some, perhaps, but it’s harder and harder, today to find a news source that is trust worthy. Most are biased. Some don’t check sources well. Some just plain make up stories.
Regardless of whether you think you’ve found the one good news source out there, they will still have a problem as all do. All have two of the same failings:
Thankfully, we have someone else to look to who doesn’t have those failings, God. He is wise, sinless, and all-knowing. He is also constant. That’s why putting our confidence in Him is like being planted by a stream. Our source of life and peace is always there. It will never run dry.
Whatever you are worried about, give it to the Lord. He will give you peace, you can trust Him.
Heavenly Father,
You are our ever-present help in times of need. Be with us during this difficult time and all the times of suffering. Help us to trust in You.
Amen
In Christ’s Service,
Pastor Kurt
