Moments of turbulence should motivate us to seek God earnestly. Moments of peace should remind us to desire a closer walk with God. An intimate relationship with the Saviour will ensure we hear Him clearly when He speaks. Let us be like wise King Hezekiah and dedicate our efforts to the worship and seeking of Jehovah Proverbs 25:1-4.

One thing that this period of restoration has reminded me of is that God is faithful. Even in His wrath, He remembers mercy. There has been so much pain and suffering, but He has still been merciful and true to His word concerning His love for us. This could have been worse than they are. We have reason to be grateful Psalm 117:1-2.

Do not harden your heart if the Lord reaches out to you concerning something, especially at such a time as this. There are some who will not be moved even when the move of God is evident and they will harden their hearts. Revelation 16:9-21.

I woke up with thanksgiving in my heart. Even as we pray concerning all that is happening around us, just take a moment to praise God and to thank Him for who He is and what He is doing. May we find favour before Him Psalm 84:1-12.

What causes me to praise God in the midst of a storm, to have faith and be positive when things look so bleak? It is knowing the God that I serve. It is knowing what Romans 8:28 says and means. It is knowing that the God who can do all things answers prayer. It is knowing that I may be hard pressed on every side, but I’m not broken – 2 Corinthians 4:8. It is knowing that I have everything I need for life and godliness, 2 Peter 1:3 and in addition to that promise, verse 4.

Psalm 32 ministered to me this morning. We have petitioned, confessed, been distressed and burdened. Now, a new dawn has come. These experiences and the work the Lord is doing will cause us to look back and praise Him. It may seem odd for such a time as this, but rejoice!

In Matthew 4:1-11, we learn that Jesus spent 40 days in the desert fasting. Over and above that, the devil tempted Him. But when He emerged from that season, He started His ministry as seen in verse 12-17. We are going through a season that gives us the opportunity to wait upon God, pray and even fast. What will be the outcome of this experience for us? Will i be business as usual or will there be evidence of transformation? What is the Lord working on in us during this season?

It is my hope and prayer that I develop a more consistent attitude of hearing God and understanding what His will is in the different circumstances I find myself in; that I understand life is not primarily about me, rather about He who began a good work in me and is working in me no matter the circumstances I am in; that times and seasons don’t change Him, rather He remains God and I need to seek Him every time. May we learn from the consistency and focus of Daniel who served under four kings and took advantage of opportunities without letting the opportunities take advantage of him.

Allowing God to do His will in our lives especially during tough times is critical to us seeing what He is accomplishing under the circumstances. What if Daniel had bowed down to the image of gold in chapter 3? Would he have been thrown into the furnace? Would the Lord have rescued them? Would we be reading of God’s great deliverance in that incident? May we have the discipline to seek His will and obey, and keep the course. May He be merciful to share His will.

We are smack in the middle of a pandemic that is shaking the whole world. For many who have lost loved ones, jobs, property, etc, we may be shaken and not sure what the future holds. Israel and Judah were in a similar situation when they were conquered and carried off into exile. In the midst of that calamity, God was still at work, hence the rise of Daniel and other great occurrences. The book of Daniel shows the sovereignty of God. Even the conquerors came to know God. May we encounter this great God of Daniel and may our lives be transformed even in the midst of all this “chaos”. Daniel chapter 1 and 2.
