Devoting themselves to prayer, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers and sisters.
Acts 1:1-14
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.

7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. 13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers and sisters.
Edify is encouragement and is Scripture. Seasons of trouble pass. Finding our faith and endurance will help our lives be faith overcoming fear. 7000 Promises of God.

Does God want us to be walking in faith with hope unseen?
Yes, Father God says sometimes faith and hope are unseen. And other times, God says He is making the season have the budding arrive for all to see, who look diligently.
Psalm 33:22
May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
Father God told us to look to the Fig leaves to see the story. We can follow the situation and Believe this virus will end. The news was good today on the vaccine. We do have Good News.
And we have to be wise. PBS said 15 states of the USA are becoming Hot Spots again. Texas is opening up the vaccine availability to all adults after March 29, 2021. Europe is again having a situation.
Be wise, be diligent, be hopeful, be safe. Pray.
Fig leaves are what Jesus said to watch leaf. There is a bud that appears like a woman heavy with child. The Crêpe Myrtle is like Houdini. One day, it is a dormant stick and then suddenly is filled with leaves.
We know this virus will end. Fig Leaf. We need to believe Pandemics end and Hope arrives like the Crepe Myrtle leaf.
