April 22 Devotion

Even in the darkest night there are glimmers of hope.

Today the USNS Comfort is leaving New York harbor as it is no longer needed.

The Javits center is being dismantled as it is no longer needed.

Three other mobile hospitals are also being dismantled as they are no longer needed.

Elective surgeries will begin again this week and respirators are being packed away or sent to other countries.

The infectious rate has dropped for the eighth day in a row as well as the death and hospital admission rates.

These are all good signs.

That is the light beginning to shine through the darkness

Will God find us thankful

Psalm 14:2 (ESV)
²  The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.

 

Faith tells us that no matter the situation, God is always in control. This is His creation and we are His children

 

Psalm 24:1-2 (ESV)
¹ The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,
²  for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.

 

We need to ask ourselves what is God trying to teach us during this time and are we listening?

Psalm 4:8 (ESV)
⁸  In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.

This too will pass.
