No! No! No! Every facet of today's world is clamoring for you to focus on its next urgent message, whether it be news, pandemic, money, or safety. You name it, and it's calling for your attention. The world and its ways have one agenda - to appear to be bigger and more important than intimacy with God in your eyes.

Don't fall for it. The most important message you can hear in today's world is that Father God is in charge. Nothing else! All that you see, all that is screaming for you to focus on it is dead and dying.

Your place as a believer is on the lap of your Father God as He whispers truth to you. There is no safer place, and no words more important than His words of comfort to your heart. That is the place won for you at the cross. That is the place where you will remember Who God really is and how small the world is. It's time to see things from God's perspective.

Confusing sounds always accompany uncertain times. Many voices ring with half truths and hopeful or disparaging information, depending on the motives of the originators. Our world is without question going through times with no clear direction and certainly no real answers. Each day only brings more questions.

During these times we, as believers, have an amazing opportunity to share absolute, proven truth with people who are wide-eyed with fear and confusion. We have the never changing Word of God, a Word that all of us can rely on no matter how many uncertain answers appear. Now is not the time to shrink from helping others; it's a time to find ways to give them something they can rely on.

Have you ever seen a movie where a vehicle is stripped of all its unnecessary weight, so it's lighter and can go faster for a specific mission? We feel like that with our ministry.

Because of the rapid changes in our world and the challenges they present, the Lord has had us scale back our plans and decide what we can streamline to make our cause more directed and purposeful during these very crucial times.

Although it's important to keep the overall plan in mind, the immediate need requires us to focus on having answers for the wondering heart who needs a reminder to seek the Lord with a repentant heart and trust in Him wholeheartedly with everything that concerns them. We are in the process of finding the most effecient way to do that.

A couple of days ago I was having a conversation with a very nice person who, out of nowhere, volunteered her opinion of the season we are going through. She said what we needed to cure all the ills of the world is a one world leader!

Had to take a couple of deep breaths before I could say much. Later the thoughts came to me, Let's see, Pandemic, earthquakes, wars, many possible wars, Hmmm!

I'm thinking about getting some oil for my lamp!
