I have been “bugged” by this whole epidemic and this is really comforting because I know I’m a child of God and that’s what matters

It’s amazing how powerful God is and that we can have that power also... Time to trample some lions and cobras!😁

Context is key, we had a great discussion at home about how Satan tempted Jesus and He replied in Luke 4:12 -- But Jesus declared, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’

All things are possible with God, but I would not test Him the next time I go to the Zoo!

All we need is a little bit of faith...and we can do almost anything!

Amen Joshua, that is what matters. I too have been casting all my cares on Him, and He has been my strength and my joy!

As I had said before, these verses are my favorite. It really shows that God is faithful and loyal to us. He won’t let us down and will always love us.
“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.”

Hay guys my favorite verse was psalm:15-16.What I think it means is that Jesus always has your back no matter what happens or what we’re going thru. He is always with us from thick and thin. And this verse he shall call upon me and I will answer him.That means if your praying or talking to him he will always answer them a yes,no,or maybe love you guys can’t wait to see you.

We have so much to be thankful and grateful for, especially when others serve and love and care for the weak and wounded like Jesus did. Jesus is the best doctor ever!

Even though these times are tough and we don't get to socialize God is still moving , working and healing. I've heard a couple of stories were people with Covid-19 have accepted Christ as well as doctors. It is so cool how God turns the enemies plans and turns them into miracles, testimonies, and stories that man can't plan. my mom read my siblings and i 1 Timothy 6:6-14 and would encourage you all to read it to . Keep fighting the good fight in these crazy times;
love, annalee

1 Timothy 6:6-14 is one great passage! I really like the part that says "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses." (verse 12)

Dad

Totally agree

Mark

5/11/2020 08:37:44 pm

Your mom is a really smart mom! Those are great verses to read, meditate on (think about), and even write down and memorize, and pray about! Yes, fight the good fight of faith. Our faith and the faith of others is worth fighting for!

10b " Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling"
11" for he shall give His angels charge over you"
that just so comforting to know and it reminds me of the verse " be still and know that I AM God"

Wow something amazing happened last night. My grandpa had a nurse come by, and she was a Christian. She prayed for them and my grandma really liked her. Around the same time, my mom’s sister was at a prayer group. The pastor’s wife prayed for someone to come and be a witness for them.

It really encourages me than God is still working, and never stops working. I hope it encourages all of you guys too.

Marty Gresham

just reading verse 14b was a great encouragement for me...it says "I(God) will protect him(us humans), for he acknowledges my name." and verse 16 also-"with long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation."

Marty Gresham
