In this new season, a choice of how to live confronts us. Either choose faith in God or to fear a disease and exist in dread of what may never come. Fear robs one of the enjoyment of today because of what is feared. It is a choice how we react to the circumstances.
The Lord, calls to all who are weary and heavy laden, to come to him, cast the cares on him. Because of governmental restrictions, our busy lives have become quieter. This is a time of rest, from all the traffic, socializing, frantic activity and busyness. Spend time with God, thank and praise him for his goodness and love! Rest and refresh, as you focus on the Lord!
Unconditionally surrender, let go of your expectations and agenda, and relinquish control to God. Slow down, quiet down, bow down, calm down and listen. Quietness and trust gives strength, as you yield to the Lord.
Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail). (Isaiah 55:22 AMPC)
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. (1 Peter 5L7 AMPC)

Yes, God is in a season of reset that includes deep repentance to get in divine alignment. It is a time of enforced Sabbath rest. Quiet is good.

My fate was always in my father’s hands. He has preserved me death too many times for me to worry now. But, there’s a fine line. I do what a man can and trust Jesus to do what only God can.

Resting in Jesus and laying down the burdens is big. It is much easier to trust God. Blessings!
