Encouragement during these times is must, a need, a lifeline. I was talking on zoom to a friend of mine. Her name is Holly. Even her name conjures up festivity, color and light. But her smile… oh if you saw her smile you would never forget it. She is one of the most vivacious personalities I have ever had the pleasure to meet.
So here I am talking to this incredibly up person, this courageous soul who is a cancer survivor, this joy emitting vessel of Jesus, and I listen to the anemia this isolation has caused. I came to the conclusion, if she's feeling this way then I know many of you will relate. Here is what she shared.
Are we going to let Satan win? He is the author of confusion, fear, death, sickness, Covid 19 and one of his specialities is isolation.
What can we do?
ABOVE ALL PRAY.
GOD (EL-The Strong One) has got this.
El Elyon—God Most High has got this.
Elohim—The All-Powerful One, has got this.
El Olam—God Eternal/Everlasting has got this.
El Roi—The God Who Sees Me (and you) has got this.
El Shaddai—God Almighty has got this.
For a little humour, I want to give the link to one of my favourite commercials. I don't know what it is about this one, but it makes me laugh, and I don't laugh easy. Hump Day Geico Commercial.
