Slowing down and beings advised by our governing authorities to stay home have been, in some ways, needed and welcomed restrictions. In a day when our American culture and the world run 24/7 there is a bit of a collective sigh of relief in this IMPOSED sabbatical. Definition- sabbatical: a rest or break from work

The cause is beyond distressing and, lest we forget, not all are in a state of rest OR having a break from work. Those on the front lines, from our doctors, nurses, healthcare workers to the government officials making daily life-altering decisions, need our prayers. This is a time for serious, intentional prayer that cries to God for His strength, wisdom and counsel for all. The watchword of the hour is “unprecedented”.

While there is much speculation about the reason this ENEMY virus is moving among us, we must keep in mind the SOVEREIGNTY of our faithful God. We need to look to Him as our “refuge and strength; an ever present help in time of trouble”. Psalm 46:1

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:1,2
