20/20 Vision of Uncertainty

 Most persons started off the year 2020 with a lot of hope and enthusiasm. Yes 2020 offered a great chance of living up to its idea of "2020 Vision" where we would be able to see perfectly clear all the missteps of the past and embrace the grandest of futures but before we knew it the "sh@t hit the fan". Everything just keeps going opposite to our expectations and plans however as the proverbial phrase goes "man a plan and God a wipe out".

 

A wise man once said, "many are the plans in a man`s heart but it is the Lord`s purpose which will prevail". (Proverbs 19:21) So let us be thankful that we have life even when the dance of death is all around us seeking to take us away in its merriness which is but for a short time.  

 

 

                                                               2020 Uncertainty

 

Uncertainty lays behind every single door I`d choose to open.

No proof of what is to come but rather signs of all that is broken.

Oh how I wish I knew what these months held for me.

Yet the wider I open my eyes I truly can`t see 2020 vision can do nothing for me.

 

 

I push on though oft in despair.

I cover my ear hoping to escape all the bad news that`s in the air.

Beirut, volcanoes, earthquakes far and near. Covid! Corona! Ebola was ere!!!

I`m crying, I`m weary, my tears are of blood; we`re six feet apart so I can`t get a hug.

Unmasked: Armored for the Pandemic

Ephesians 6: 10-18   The true pandemic that we face in our society today is sin, aside from the Bubonic Plague of the 14 th century, the Spanish Flu of 20 th the century and the Covid19 of 21 st century its sin that has remained the one constant throughout the centuries. Sin is simply the transgression or breaking of the law of the Creator. (1 John 3:4) So while we are able to use the many medical recommendations as precautionary measures to keep us safe the Apostle Paul in Ephesians also created a guideline that all can follow to keep themselves safe from this pandemic called sin.   For the evil one can transform himself and appear as an Angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:4) and deceive you so that you believe a lie. With this said it becomes wisdom for us to ensure we put on the whole Armor of God so that we can stand fast against the plans of the enemy.   Approaches to Preventing Pandemics   The Medical Approach   The...

Be Still; Give God Room to Work

Exodus 14: 1-16 Psalm 46:1-4 Philippians 4: 6-8/13.   The children of Israel were coming out of the land of bondage with a lot of the treasures of the land of Egypt freely given to them. However, the Pharaoh realizing his error decided that he had made a grave mistake and what he had done was give away his slaves. With that said he ordered his might army to go after the children of Israel to carry them back into bondage.   The Israelites whereby this time at the red sea with seemingly no available way forward. To the left and the right where two great mountain ranges and now getting closer to them was the mightiest army in the land. The people where now pretty much loosing faith and cried unto Moses have you carried us into this place to die; we were better off in Egypt under the task masters.   Moses was reminded by God that God would fight for his children (Exodus 14:14) God commanded Moses to command the people of God to go forward however he should lift ...
