The Blessing ~ Kari Jobe & Cody Carnes
They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are
steadfast, trusting in the Lord. ~ Psalms 112:7 NIVUK
I remember when we were serving on Prayer Team at our
church's west campus, in Florida. My favorite part of the mornings we were
serving was getting there early to pray over the chairs, while the Worship Team
rehearsed. We would pray that the Lord would soften the hearts of those who
would be sitting in those chairs, that they would hear what God had to say. We
would pray for the pastor, that the words in the message wouldn't be his words,
but God's. When we had finished praying, we would just worship, soaking up the
presence of God.
Today, there is a lot of panic over what the future may
(or may not) hold. There is a run on hand sanitizer and toilet paper. While I
really hope there's toilet paper available when I need it, my hope is not in
toilet paper. Nor is it in a job or a circumstance. My hope is in the God who
knows what I need, long before I do. My hope is in the God who walked His
people through the water on dry ground. My hope is in the God who sacrificed
His own Son, who died on a cross, to save me, and to save you.
Today, I don't know what you're facing. I don't know the
full scope of your circumstances. But I do know that God is still on the Throne
and He has a plan for you, because He loves you. In the middle of whatever
you're facing or dealing with today, take some time to enter His presence. Let
the fear just melt away and just be with the One who loves you.
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we
trust in the name of the LORD our God. ~
Psalm 20:7 NIV
