In Crisis Time to Put Faith into Action

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Psalm 57:1

The world is in turmoil and panic with the outbreak of a fearful virus. It is up to each of us to now exercise our faith in staying calm and helping others.

Amid crisis, we must put our trust and faith into action. We must turn to God and give over all fears and anxiety. While others around us and all over the world, are falling apart in chaos and panic, now is the time to draw on the faith which we have strengthened and cultivated. Faith can, and will, see us through.

In addition to our faith, our trust in, and unity with, God will allow us to rise above the circumstances in which we find ourselves. Rising above the fear and panic will keep us calm, knowing, and able to help others and to do our part as needed.

Crisis, whether small or big, are the times for which our faith prepares us so that we are already able and receiving the flow of the Spirit in which we trust. Staying in the moment, as the Bible teaches, is imperative to stay centered and in the Spirit. Do not allow thoughts and fears to ramble ahead to the unknown future. Do not speculate in fear. Stay centered and stay focused on God throughout the day and night, and when it is time to rest, rest in Jesus as you drift peacefully off to sleep.

Do not fall prey to the fear. Keep your wits about you and ask for guidance as you go through your day. Wait for guidance to proceed in any situation in which you are unsure. In following God’s will and guidance for you, you then know that you are indeed in the shadow of His wings.

What we need now is faith, not fear.
