Psalm 119: 147 ESV
"I rise before dawn
and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word."
When I wake up in the
mornings, the first thing I say is, "thank you, Lord. I started a new
day." We are in "lockdown" in South Africa. No one is going in
to work, and there is no school for the next 21 days.
The Police are on the
roads, pulling cars over asking the questions, where are you going why are you
on the way. Well, we are allowed to purchase food and petrol. So that is what
we are doing. People are indoors, watching TV and sitting around. I am grateful
that my children are all grownups; I don't believe I would coupe with small
kids at home; I lost the patience somewhere along the way. My daughter has been
looking after her two girls. I must say she is doing a great job, she is a
dedicated mom and looks after the girls. Both she and her husband have to phone
into work. They do not have a choice there isn’t anybody who can assist with
the girls. So their lives have all of a sudden changed from working parents to
stay home parents working from home. I
believe God has a plan for our lives and this is a good thing, bring family
together.
As we start our day and
think of the people that have contracted the Coronavirus, we also should be
praying to ask the Lord to help them. Thanking God that we are still doing well
and that we can speak to Him, we have an open line to God and all because of
the Lord Jesus.
Prayer
Lord, I call on You in my
hour of distress, and I know You always answer me. Today, Lord, please will You
heal the sick and make away for all of us. Lord, small businesses are
struggling because of the Lockdown. We need Your divine intervention today and
the coming day, amen
