The sky is falling - the sky is falling - said none other than Chicken Little

Good morning fellow Christians.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

   Remember the story of Chicken Little?  Chicken Little lived in Oakey Oaks and one day while walking a bird flying overhead dropped and acorn.  It just happened to hit Chicken Little on the head.  Oh, My, where did it come from?  The sky must be falling, he must warn everyone that the sky is falling.

   Okay, a little kids story and we know the sky is not falling.  However, the real moral of the story is to have courage, even when it feels like the sky is falling.  Well, here we are in America and around the world and the sky is falling.  Not really, we have an epidemic on our hands called COVID-19 of which we must deal with.

   We cannot tread in fear; yet we must not travel with no abandon.  We have experts who are working to cure the virus and then we must rest in the fact that God gave us the intellect to think, reason, and act accordingly.

   If I don't want to be snake bit, then don't walk into a den of snakes.  This is the same; we must take precautions to do what is logical and sensible.  Buying all the toilet paper in town is not one of these.  Bagging myself up in garbage bags and home made masks is not one of these.  We are told distance - 6 feet - only essential work places and businesses are to be open.  Okay, we can live with this.

  There are several things you and I can do -  1) remember who is in control - GOD; 2) use some email aka Pray; 3) obey the authorities and use good judgment in our daily functioning.  Very simple.

  God is in control - begin the day with the LORD's prayer - Matthew 6:9-13.

  Prayer - Philippians 4: 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

  Also 1 John 5: 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

 Then obey the authorities - Romans 13:1 All of you must obey those who rule over you. There are no authorities except the ones God has chosen. Those who now rule have been chosen by God.

   No, Chicken Little, the sky is not falling; just a situation that God is in control of and we just need to maintain our courage, be wise, and live for God.  Thank you for reading today.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
