7 Big Benefits of Standing on God in a Topsy-Turvy World
Wouldn’t it be great to stand strong in this world gone mad? You can! I’d like to send you 7 scriptures that describe exactly what happens when we decide to trust God as the foundation in our lives. (Hint, one is joy. Another is unmoveability. I think that’s a made-up word, but the scripture isn’t made up. It’s for real.)
Anyway, join my subscriber tribe here! (And look in your inbox for those 7 scriptures!)
Right on target Laurie!
This is so good! Thank you ❤
Laurie, thank you for your post. People are desperate for comfort, perspective and leadership. Thank you for yours. As the emperor said to Mulan: “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.”. Esther was the hope of her time. Now it is our time as Christians to exemplify our trust in our Savior with courage and compassion. We live in the times of the signs. This is not the end, but it might be the beginning of the end. Luke 21:9-11,13-15,17-19 CJB And when you hear of wars and revolutions, don’t panic. For these things must happen first, but the end will not follow immediately.” (10) Then he told them, “Peoples will fight each other, nations will fight each other, (11) there will be great earthquakes, there will be epidemics and famines in various places, and there will be fearful sights and great signs from Heaven. (19) but it will prove an opportunity for you to bear witness. (14) So make up your minds not to worry, rehearsing your defense beforehand; (15) for I myself will give you an eloquence and a wisdom that no adversary will be able to resist or refute. (17) and everyone will hate you because of me. (18) But not a hair of your head will be lost. (19) By standing firm you will save your lives.
Wonderfully said, dear Laurie! You articulated so many of my thoughts these days–but so much better! Our mutual friend, Paula, and I texted this evening, and we talked about how in this darkness of fear Jesus can shine more than ever. What a glorious opportunity we now have to radiate his peace and joy and love like never before.
Amen! So beautifully written! May we be brave and courageous in these days!❤
Thank you for the powerful reminder that the sky is most definitely not falling, Laurie. Soon this will be a “remember when” time as 9-11 and SARS are today. It will leave memories from extremely painful loss to laughter from wandering around searching for just four roles of toilet paper. We will tell how the Lord supplied our needs and assured us that He is right where He always is… fully available if we will reach up.
“Fully available if we reach up.” I love that. Thanks for reading, Carole!
