SILENTLY, WITHOUT HASTE, COMES THE SHADOW OF FEAR

Very softly down the glade runs a waiting, watching shadow,
And the whisper spreads and widens far and near;
And the sweat is on thy brow, for it passes even now.....
It is Fear, O trembling one, it is Fear. 
Adapted from Rudyard Kipling


Fear.....

It devours our peace, and it tempts us to lose faith in God.

Research tells us that fear and anxiety can turn a light case into a deadly one.

Sadly, many people fill the Internet with fear and seem to gloat at the thought of causing their audience to lose hope.

If we let these predators destroy our peace, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Just stop clicking on the links.

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Jesus

DAY BY DAY
Don't be shy, whether alone or with friends, please sing along. 



1
Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure,
Gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
2
Every day the Lord Himself is near me,
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me,
He whose name is Counsellor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.
3
Help me then, in every tribulation,
So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation,
Offered me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
Till with Christ the Lord I stand.


GOOD NEWS

Italians are turning in desperation to Jesus Christ for deliverance. And, the video is of all men, kneeling and praying for help from God. Could you ever imagine this happening unless God had allowed the virus to devastate Italy?
