Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-20

Psalm 100: 1-2 (NKJV) 1 Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing.

There’s probably not much shouting with joy these days, with all that is going on.

It is so devastating to look at and watch. And it’s almost unbelievable the way that everything has come to a standstill.

These are the times when shouting joyfully should be even stronger. Why would we shout and sing at a time like this?

Why would Paul and Silas sing and praise God in a time when they had been beaten and stuck in a prison for doing nothing wrong? They sang so loudly that all those around them could hear it.

Acts 16:25 (KJV) 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

We’ve got to understand that these are the times we will see God’s hand move, in the midst of us not knowing what is going on.

He protects His babes; the children that call Him Papa, the children that believe and trust in His Son, Jesus Christ.

This pandemic that has hit the world is coming under control. And it will pass. You can say, “well everything has changed. Will we ever get back to normal?”.

Let it work its way out. Maybe this change is our answer to some things. We need not look only at the bad or the evil that is in it, but the good that comes out of it.

Sometimes when things don’t look the same as what we’re used to seeing, we don’t have the mind of Christ. We start thinking from our own intellect, and the Spirit is pushed down.

We don’t want to be like Peter, standing in the way of things that Jesus needed to do. Let’s get out of the way and let God bring whatever change is necessary.

Mark 8:33 (NKJV) 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

If we want to help at this time, sing to Him a new song. Praise His name. For the change that is coming will be good for us all!
