Corona has made her presence known world wide and there would hardly be a person on earth today who hasn't heard about it.
We are getting used to living our new normal with social distancing, vigilant hand washing and medical consultations by phone.
Corona has robbed many of their finances, employment and more importantly, their lives.
In Victoria our home state in Australia, there have been second waves in hotspots thoughout suburbs of Melbourne and we have seen total lockdown of those hotspots for the next six weeks at least.
It is all very depressing. But in order to boost morale, I have tried to be an encourager of my family and friends.
In our home, I have adopted an attitude of gratitude for my home, being able to access food and medicines and for God keeping us safe from the virus.
I play worship songs, making sure they are uplifting and I try not to watch the news constantly.
I have also limited my FaceBook time as the feeds are totally depressing.
Remembering Psalms and scriptures of God's protection and deliverance also comforts us and lifts morale.
We need to encourage each other of the Blessed Hope, the Rapture of the Church which is imminent, according to all the signs we are told to watch for.
Time is short, we have to tell as many as we can that they must accept Jesus as their Saviour now-and we must encourage brothers and sisters in the LORD to look up.
I am no longer looking for the signs, but listening for the trumpet call- along with songs of deliverance.

John 14:1-2 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
I appreciate these thoughts. I’m trying to focus on gratitude and worship too. He is always worthy!

DeleteGlenys, I get a lot of comfort and encouragement from worship songs too. As well as limiting my news intake, staying off Twitter for the most part, you get the idea! Being in total lockdown would be so hard... what a blessing for you to be able to look at it as an opportunity to encourage your family and friends. 😊
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a cuppa with me today, Lois!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bracing reminder not to let ourselves be distracted from what is truly important and lasting.
ReplyDeleteYes, Michele, it's so important for us not grow weary or faint and not to become distracted as we run our final leg of the race! Thanks for sharing another cuppa with me today. Blessings, Glenys!
ReplyDeleteI cannot read that Psalm without singing the Selah song called Hiding Place! Such a great song! What an encouragement and comfort that God is hiding place!! I posted about Psalm 23:3 this week, about His guidance as a Good Shepherd, preparing the path for us that leads to righteousness. What a great truth that God is personal, near to us, and wants to lead us as the Good Shepherd. And we get to sing "songs of deliverance" along the way!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely song: I like it too. Good post about the Good Shepherd. Thanks for sharing a cuppa with me today, Elena!
