O my soul, bless God.
From head to toe, I’ll bless his holy name!
O my soul, bless God,
don’t forget a single blessing!
He forgives your sins—every one.
He heals your diseases—every one.
He redeems you from hell—saves your life!
He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown.
He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal.
He renews your youth—you’re always young in his presence.
God makes everything come out right;
he puts victims back on their feet
Psalm 103 The Message
There is much to fear in this world. Especially with this covid-19 pandemic. Heath and safety for ourselves, our families and our friends. Financial concerns, will I have a job, will my business survive, will I be able to make ends meat.
Our God is a living God and walks among us. Things were very much falling apart in Jesus time too. They told Jesus that they wouldn’t abandon him. But Jesus knew that they would. Jesus took the weight of sin and worry on him.
There will be troubles in this world. Jesus says, that I am with you. There may be uncertainty in the world. Jesus says, I am the resurrection. You might think that all there is – is darkness. Jesus, says I am the Light, and I have overcome darkness.
The same power that raised Jesus from the dead will bring things to work for good in your life too. Jesus is with us wherever we go, whatever we are doing. Turn your worries and cares over to Jesus. The power of God that raised Jesus to new life, will raise us to new life too, in Him! We may run from Jesus, but Jesus stays close to us! Jesus is not distant from us, but Jesus is very close by. And he cares for us. He is the Light of the world.
God’s Peace,
Joe Giordano
