Ladies and Gentlemen, we need to talk about our ATTITUDES!

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

And if worry can’t accomplish a little thing like that, what’s the use of worrying over bigger things?  Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his Glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.

And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

And don’t be concerned about what to eat and what to drink. Don’t worry about such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs.

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need.

So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

Dear ones, we strive and struggle so HARD with our worries and fears. We are so busy-busy-busy & anxious about BLM – The Economy – Racism – Riots – The Chinese Wuhan virus and what will happen in the November election that we simply cannot and will not empty ourselves and be like JESUS!

We can REST in the Confident Assurance that GOD-JEHOVAH has Provided His GREAT GRACE for ALL our needs!

.

Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in John 13:3-17

Jesus knew that the Father had given Him Authority over everything and that He had come from God and would return to God.  So He got up from the table, took off His robe, wrapped a towel around His waist, and poured water into a basin. Then He began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel He had around Him.

When Jesus came to Simon Peter, Peter said to him,

Lord, are you going to wash my feet?  Jesus replied,

You don’t understand now what I AM doing, but someday you will.

No!, Peter protested, You will never ever wash my feet!  Jesus replied,

Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.

Simon Peter exclaimed, Then wash my hands and head as well, Lord, not just my feet!    Jesus replied,

A person who has bathed all over does not need to wash, except for the feet, to be entirely clean. And you disciples are clean, but not all of you.

For Jesus knew who would betray Him. That is what He meant when he said,

Not all of you are clean.

After washing their feet, He put on His robe again and sat down and asked,

Do you understand what I was doing?

You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I AM. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.

I tell you the Truth, slaves are not greater than their master. Nor is the messenger more important than the one who sends the message.

Now that you know these things, God will Bless you for doing them.

.

LORD, You are the ONE that shows us how to empty ourselves of self-centeredness as You washed our feet!  Remind us again today that we can and should wash one another’s feet especially those in our households, our spouse, our children, our parents, our grandchildren and anoint them with the OIL of Gladness thereby casting out ALL fears.

LORD, You came into this world not to be served, but to SERVE as a ransom for ALL of mankind. I KNOW that my Redeemer LIVES!

Because we are IN CHRIST, we are seated with Him in Heavenly Places far above ALL doubts, fears, anxiety, and this pandemic of the CoronaVirus from Wuhan China.

 

Amen and Amen!
