I sit here on this beautiful sunshine afternoon gladdened that yesterday’s snow is melting and that there is a whiff of spring in the air. I am mindful that God is nigh. He is as close to us today as He was yesterday before the coronavirus pandemic sent the world into a tailspin. He is as close to us today as He will be tomorrow which thankfully, is unknown except to Him alone. Our God is so near He can hear a whispered prayer and is never deafened by desperate cries for deliverance. I don’t know about anyone else, but my hope for myself, my family, my church and nation during this health crisis is more solid now than it’s ever been for I’ve seen the Lord’s hand in all of them before.
I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth.Job 19:25
