April 30 Devotion

Plans are underway to reopen Long Island.

That’s good news but I know many are still afraid to go out and that’s fine.

Opening the state does not mean you have to go out or do something you are uncomfortable doing.

But we do have to get our economy going again if we expect to survive financially.

We as believers in Jesus Christ place our trust and hope in Him and not in an earthly government.

You need to do what you feel is safe for you and your family.

My hope is that the ban on church services will be listed.

We are a small enough church that we can meet and still practice social distancing.

Psalm 27:1 (ESV)
¹ The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

 

Zephaniah 3:17 (ESV)
¹⁷  The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.

 

JC Ryle wrote this which I find very encouraging

The day is coming when there shall be a congregation that shall never break up

And a Sabbath that shall never end

A song of praise that shall never cease

And an assembly that shall never be dispersed.

This too shall pass
