GOD REGARDS EVERYONE EQUALLY

Events like the corona virus pandemic show how quickly things can change.

We may have thought that Science had all the answers. But now, as an invisible virus threatens everything, we recognize that while science is important, it can't give us all the answers.

We are at a moment in history in which we can learn vital lessons so we are not caught unaware when larger, even more impactful, prophesied events occur in the future.

Christ told us to take heed, watch and pray, because we do not know the time of His coming, don't you agree with me that now is a good time to prepare our lives?

Now is the time to seek God.

We must realize that a great debt has been forgiven us. What others owe us is paltry in comparison. Forgiveness ultimately frees our mind from guilt, shame and blame preventing us from experiencing peace of mind.

I can advance with certainty that being a citizen of the kingdom of God means accepting the sovereignty of God and supersedes all other forms of allegiance and patriotism.

I can also advance that none are wholly destitute in the eyes of God, and often those who seem to have less really have more.

We differ in abilities, talents, intelligence levels and opportunity to develop our various gifts, but just as no person is pure genius, so too no person is wholly destitute of genius. The Bible refers to the "least" as though they are of great worth. God is looking for those who are lowly in heart (Matthew 11:29). Isaiah describes the might of God and then states that He will look on anyone who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at His word (Isaiah 66:2).

Our society urges us to be assertive and to affirm ourselves. Don't let your freedom and right to choose lead you away from God's pathway to eternal life.

One would think that the wise of this world would realize how God sees things and be sure they fit into His description of one who is precious in His sight. However, the mighty, rich and powerful of this world do not seem to think they need God as much as the poor and lowly. Everything about us is known to God and the great equalizer is that He understands our innermost drives and thoughts. Therefore, He regards slave or owner, man and woman, the small and the great with equal regard. None are wholly destitute in the eyes of God, and often those who seem to have less really they have more.

The truth of God is like a vein of gold, waiting to be extracted. It takes diligence, sacrifice, and acknowledge to identify and extract it.

Before I end this blog, I would like to leave you with a very important truth:

We must not forget that each of us is a work in progress. And more important is that every difficulty and hardship can equip us to become more comforting and compassionate to others.
