Devotion – 4/1/2020

Hello everyone,

Today is April Fools Day, and this fact has not escaped my two youngest children. They got up early this morning, with a few tricks they planned on. Before 9:00am, the youngest was in tears. By 9:30am, I declared “April fools Day” is officially over.

There are these few things that are still within my vested right as the Mom – these things that I can still control. Outside the walls of my home, there seems like less and less I am able to control. I thought, if only I could declare this pandemic officially over.

Psalm 34:4
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.

Truth be told – there are many things I would change, if I had the power to do so. But what I know for sure God is calling me to do is to change my heart, and to trust that He is near.

Because of Jesus, we can have strength to face our struggles without fear. God is here, and God will deliver us from all our fears.   Amen

Pastor Denise
