Hello everyone! Happy Easter! ✟
A Christian's HOPE is based upon the Easter story. Many focus on the Cross this time of year and its meaning. The best part of the story is the empty tomb. Without a doubt, I know where my hope and future lie. Through faith, belief, and a personal walk and relationship with God, I know that heaven is my destination. Jesus made a way for that to be possible by what he did on the cross.
News flash! The world is in a mess, and we can see the book of Revelation being played out in real time. Regardless of what is happening all around us, keep in mind that God is in control. He knows the BIG plan. Our focus should be on heavenly things, and not on things of this world.
So how do we do this when it seems like everything is spinning out of control?
Stay focused. Like a ballerina spinning around and around, she finds a focal point to keep her from getting dizzy and falling over.
The devil likes nothing more than to distract us. Staying focused allows us to be a source of light during the dark days. Be a resource. Who can you compliment or smile at? Who needs help, who needs food or a meal? Who needs to hear about Christ, so they can have the same hope and peace that many of us have?
Don’t Ignore. I’m not saying to ignore what is going on. Ignorance is not bliss. It’s a dangerous thing to do. We need to be prepared and informed so as not to get blindsided. Stand up for those who are being abused or mistreated. We will be held accountable if we stick our heads in the sand and pretend ‘this’ is not happening.
Unfortunately, sometimes it takes a shakeup, a tragedy, or major losses to get people to a place where they cry out to God. Be that person who is available to guide and disciple.
Look at this mess as an opportunity to share the Word and bring hope and light to as many as you can. It’s not over until it’s over.
Most of all, pray. There is power in prayer and Jesus’ name. Pray for our world, our nation, those being persecuted, and mostly, the lost. Pray for God’s peace to relieve all anxiety and fears that most folks are feeling. And remember, God's got this!
The beautiful Easter Story in the Bible is the account of Palm Sunday to resurrection day. The week starts with excitement, ending with questions and devastation on Friday. Then a miracle happened on the third day, Sunday, the Risen Savior. Our Hope and Future is seen in that moment. Take time to read it this year, ponder on it, and share it with others. It’s a story that will put us at peace and it is something to be excited about!
Have a wonderful month, Celebrating the Easter Story! ✟
