The more and more this plandemic spreads, the more relevant it is that we are about to come to a complete halt. More and more we are pushed to halt our busy lives to retain our own safety.
Although we have been through some trials and tribulations, we have built our endurance through them all. Romans 5:3-5 NLT says, “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
So when we experience trials that test our faith, we should rejoice and remain in a state of development with God. In these times, we should remain in a state of reflection and observation. We must always remember that this battle is more spiritual than it is physical. Ephesians 6:12 NLT says, “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” God already knows what’s coming before it comes, which is why He warns us on how to prepare and what our focuses should be on. Amos 3:7 NLT says, “Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets.” So, not only does God already know what’s going to happen before it happens, but He is so gracious to reveal what’s going to happen through His prophets and His Word (The Holy Bible).
We must widen our perspective and realize that God is faithful despite of us. These are the times to come together in prayer and tap into our true power through Christ. When the enemy and the media wants to push us into a state of fear, we must shift our focuses to coming BOLDLY before the throne.
In times of stagnation, sometimes we are alerted to the reality that we haven’t been spending much time with our loved ones as we should. We have filled each moment with this and that. Too busy to cook, too busy to help our kids a little more, too busy to listen, too busy to engage, too busy to stay. God sees our need for a pause, and just at the right time, He will make it happen. If you are going through a period of stagnation, I urge you to slow down and be present. This should be a time for family, prayer, and interceding. I pray for you, your family, your neighborhood, and your situation. God bless you, Friend.
