"A FEW WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT even in the storm"

GOD bless, thank you, sister Jenise, and yours.

"A Loving Reminder, Yes, our GOD Loves us."

"Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]." 1 Peter 5:7 Amplified Bible

The LORD's timing is always perfect. Nothing is random or out of place. We are not reading this letter at this caring moment because we orchestrated all the events beyond our control to bring us here. We didn't, but our GOD did because He wants to remind us not to worry or be afraid.

Even if there was a time to worry, to be filled with anxiety, and be overwhelmingly concerned about everything happening in the world around us, now might be that time. Still, amid these storms, the LORD says, "Don't worry, don't be afraid, I AM here with you, trust Me, we are going through this together."

"Look at the birds!"

"Praise the LORD from the Earth,

all great sea creatures and ocean depths,

lightning and hail, snow and clouds,

powerful wind fulfilling His word,

mountains and all hills,

fruit trees and all cedars,

wild animals and all cattle,

crawling creatures and flying birds."

Psalm 148:7-10 BSB

"Look at the birds!"

Listen, don't worry, Jesus said, look at the Birds. Have you ever noticed how happy they are? They sing when it's sunny and also sing when it's raining. It is because all creation is praising the LORD, and we, as His people, must join in and worship Him, too. Let His birds teach us to sing always, honor, and glorify the LORD with our praise and adoration even amid the storm. Yes, even now, it will silence our fears, keep our focus on Jesus, and give us hope and courage to persevere. Remember, the LORD Loves us. He is with us now and will always be forever. Hallelujah!

Thank You, LORD!

"Look at the birds of the air: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns—and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?  Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life" Matthew 6:26-27 BSB

GOD bless you all!

Amen, brother James.

When I worry, I take my eyes off Jesus. My circumstances take first place.

When I cast my anxiety onto Him, God becomes my primary focus again.

Amen!
