April 26 Devotion

 

The news concerning the virus in New York is looking up.

New cases, hospitalizations and deaths are down for the 13^th day in a row

What this means is that we could be entering phase one of the re-opening of New York very soon.

This would allow for places of worship to again open with strict distancing in effect.

While our virtual services have been a real blessing, Marion and I miss being with you all in person. So lets continue to keep this matter in prayer.

I always find encouragement in the Psalms

Psalm 61:1-3 (ESV)
¹ Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;
²  from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I,
³  for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.

 

And Samuel had the same encouraging thoughts

 

2 Samuel 22:32-33 (ESV)
³²  “For who is God, but the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God? ³³  This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless.

 

This too shall pass
