What Will Get Us Through?

Two pertinent questions that were foremost in our minds regarding the COVID-19 pandemic were "e;when will this virus end? After about two months and no immediate end in sight, the second question became "e;what's going to get us through this pandemic?"e; This unprecedented virus changed our entire way of living. Businesses, stores, schools, and houses of worship were closed. Shelter in place, wash your hands frequently, use hand sanitizer, wear a mask, social distance became the mandated directives of the day. Many jobs were lost due to business shut-downs, which created economic hardships for many families It was my prayer that as I prepared these messages "e;for such a time as this,"e; I would be guided by the Holy Spirit to deliver a Word that would offer peace ("e;Perfect Peace"e;), encouragement ("e;Yes There Is!"e;), salvation ("e;God's Gift of Repentance"e;), God's protection ("e;Refuge at the Lord's Table"e;), and a desire within the hearer to have a closer relationship with God ("e;Sheltered in Place"e;). As you read, visualize, and hear these messages in your heart, mind, and spirit, it is my prayer that you will be able to answer the question "e;WHAT WILL GET US THROUGH?"e;
