A stranger leaves 500 face masks for the police station in East China #coronovirus
Hebrews 11:1-11
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. 11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.
In 2011, our county and two others had the largest fire of 2011 in the USA. It was a 500 year forest fire according to my cousin who held the office of Forestry Commissioner of Louisiana. We had fire fighters even from Alaska and Washington state.
The Shelters kept changing as the wind blew the fire. And we were asked to bring gloves, lip balm, lotions, bottles of water to the Fire Station. The Shelters were at times isolated by fire itself. Thousands of residents connected through Facebook and donated. FB recorded everyone who donated was met with profound thanks. An amazing number of houses and lives were saved. Incredible.
We've all watched Australians going in to rescue people, animals and houses. The Light in mankind
is seen. The woman in the fire rescuing the Koala.
Ezekiel 34:11-12
For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.
The Dog was rescued from a steep cliff and fire.
Luke 15:6
Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’
In the middle of the Coronavirus, a man donates 500 masks to the East China Police. He does not wait for a thank you. Edward and I watched the Quarantines standing on porches in Wuhan. Getting food must be frightening in the middle of the Quarantine. Supplies of face masks must almost be impossible to find.
Galatians 3:14
So that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
John 1:3-4
3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Colossians 3:11
Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Acts 15:7-9
And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith."
Abba,
You bless us every day. When I consider the many years my family generations struggled, merely a hundred years ago, the life expectancy was in the 40s.
We are so blessed to not be in the middle of this Virus. It's a Blessing to see this man donate life saving equipment. The Lord Bless him and his family to survive and prosper. We pray for the Lord's own Rescue for these men and the many we do not see. Much of this faith will be unseen.
2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
Father we cover ourselves and those we Love in Jesus Christ. To have Your Love and to lead us in the good works You have for us to walk in. Your Hope and Future will bring Your plans to completion.
We would join with all of Your Good Creation to ask for more of Your Good Will done on earth as in Heaven. To see this blessing. To live seeing our Blessings of Love, Peace, Joy. Finding Your Kingdom on earth.
Abraham argued for Your People. Moses argued for Your People. Paul addressed Your People as, "Beloved."
To Give to You, The Lord our God, is pleasing to You. Everything we have is a Gift of God. And giving thanks is the Blessing of having You given us. God loves a Cheerful Giver. To Bless You in Gratitude, to be with Gratitude. To give to our Church and Community our labor and our tithe. To bless Christian Missionary work, like giving monthly money to Children in Nations of need. To bless Christian Radio. To be the Good Samaritan to our friends and neighbors. To speak well of local businesses both large and local effort. To give not just money, but prayer and time and talent. To Stand firm in the faith and Love of Jesus Christ even in adverse circumstance with faith God will see us through. To find and rejoice in the Light of mankind in Jesus. God Blessing us to Have the Holy Spirit. Rejoicing.
Luke 1:47
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
Luke 10:20
Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.
John 8:56
Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad
Acts 2:26
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope
Romans 15:10
Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
We face each day knowing Jesus said we will have troubles. And we will study Jesus Overcoming. We will have the Gratitude to our God, He is still Working.
Help us each day to be Pleasing to You, Father God. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Bless us and cover us in the Name and Love of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
♔ Lord Jesus Saves! †
