Enduring Word Bible- COVID19


Enduring Word Bible #59
COVID 19 resources from 
Visual Faith Ministry for
2 Chronicles 20

Spending some time rereading this
 and the story of Jehoshaphat.
He was a King that sought to do right
 in the eyes of the Lord.
 He worked to bring reform 
and remove the idols in Judah.
Some things stand out for our days right now:
1. He trusted. 
v.12 "We do not know why to do, 
but our eyes are on you."
2. He encouraged.
v. 17 "Stand firm, hold your position, 
and see the salvation
 of the Lord on your behalf."
3. He was humble.
v. 18"Then Jehoshaphat bowed his head 
with his face to the ground."
4. He worshipped.
v. 18b "...fell before the Lord
  worshiping the Lord." 
5. He gave thanks.
v.21 Give thanks to the Lord, 
for his steadfast love endures forever."
I think this is a great plan 
for these COVID19 days.
I also went back to my first Journaling Bible
 and saw the entry from 11-19-14.
Think I have loved this section for a long time. 
Added this new margin in that Bible too.

Maybe these days are not so much
 about finding new ways to respond to crisis,
 but about going back to see how
 the Lord blessed those that came to Him first
when things were overwhelming.
So as we stand together faithfully- 
the one ancient truth that 
speaks well into this time is:
Keep our eyes on YOU, Lord.
