Message for April 5, 2020 from Pastor Jerry

“His mother said to the servants, ‘Whatever He says to you, do it.” John 2:5

  We are in a time today with the Coronavirus running wild throughout the world, our nation, our state, and even in our local community when it is important that we make the right choices and do the right things. We are being told every scary thing happening around us and even some people with positive ideas are not too positive.  All of us want to feel safe and protected from danger.

  One thing that is trying to take over our thought processes is fear.  For the believer, there is much admonishment to “fear not” when conditions and situations are not to our liking.  The Bible tells us to be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

  In this present time it is important that we follow social rules and defensive policies set forth by leaders but at the same time not live in fear constantly.  We know it is the thief that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Our present problems did not take God by surprise. He knows what His plans and purposes are for each of us, and by trusting Him, we can come through a winner in any situation.

  The verse at the top of the page is our guidance on what to do.  Do not do any more or any less than what Mary told the servants to do.  His way never fails us and He will watch over us as a good Father. Satan is a liar and the father of lies.  And, as we sing, remember, “fear is a liar.” Be blessed and trust God everyday for the things we need that day.  Tomorrow will take care of itself. See you soon.
