There have been a number of things over the last few weeks that have tested our patience. It seems to be about the first thing to go out the window, am I right?
In Galatians 5, the Apostle Paul tells us about the Fruits of the Spirit. The Word tells us that Jesus is doing a good work in us — one that will allow us to tap into Spirit-filled patience.

The Rock Music is excited to announce the release of their latest single “The Lord Reigns”. This new worship song proclaims God’s sovereignty and Lordship along with His incredible majesty. These truths of who He is are certainly what we need to be reminded of at this time.
Songwriters Caleb and Kelsea Yetton have created an emotional anthem from the verses in Psalm 93. Seeing Jesus reign in such a way that His majesty and strength are His clothing — “That imagery intrigued me,” Caleb explained. He started to flesh out the song and then Kelsea helped him further shape the verses and the bridge. Together, they brought the song to life.

We’re excited to continue on with The Gospel of Mark series and hope you’ll join us.
Mark tells us the life story of the King who came not to be served, but to serve. It’s an exciting account of the Son of God that could speak to both the Jews and the non-Jews of Mark’s day. In our study through the book of Mark, we’ll discover more about Jesus’ servant life, His ministry and the training of His disciples.

Do you understand that God knit us together, in our mother’s wombs, to be born at exactly the right place and time — to experience this pandemic together in our various stages of life? God orchestrated it. Let this verse from Acts 17:26 sink in, “He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation.” In other words, we were born at the right place and time.

In the middle of trials, are you seeing the opportunity for your faith to grow? As George Mueller put it, “difficulties are food for faith to feed on.”
Hebrews 11:1 says that, “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Faith takes future realities and brings them into our present realities. It is a rock-solid confidence in God’s Word — even in the midst of difficulties.

I am sobered by what we are facing at this time. In the Bible, we see difficulties people faced over and over again. This is not new to God. Many times, those difficult circumstances brought people to their knees in repentance.
John the Baptist paved the way for Jesus and His message. Both men proclaimed the need for the people of Israel to repent. I believe that is something our world needs to hear now. It’s certainly something that you and I must continually do — live a life of repentance while clinging to our Savior.

It feels like there is so much discouragement in our world right now. There is fear in what we are hearing and reading. Christian, did you know there is power in what you speak? Death and life are found in the power of the tongue.
I would encourage you to speak words of life into the world. When people are full of fear, we can proclaim that we have a good God who says, “Fear Not!” What a great time it is to show our faith to others and give them some good news.
