The cover of last week’s Economist featured our planet. Neither India nor South America was placed as the centerpiece of our planet. No, China didn’t take the stage either. It was the closed sign hung right in the middle of our planet that stole the spotlight. The cover—both strategic and timely—seemed to have struck a cord, as millions forced to wait benighted at home during this shelter-to-place order. Many wonder if there is anything left open and available.
“I stayed at work for you, you stay at home for us.” Undoubtedly a poignant post, it shows the immense sacrifice and love extant in our communities, and with such virtues, I can’t help but to divert my attention to Jesus, One who demonstrated the greatest love. John 6: 38 writes “For I have come down from heaven not to do My will but to do the will of Him who sent Me.” Jesus came down from heaven for us. What can we do for Him? Challenge: “For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have.” (2 Corinthians 8:12; NIV) We don’t have to look at what others are doing to help the communities navigate the current challenge. Why? God calls all to serve, but not all are called to serve in the same field. Let us each ask, “What do You want me to do in this time?”, and fulfill the calling with cheerful willingness. PS: If you’re a medical provider, please know that we’re all very thankful for you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for your service. And, we are staying at home for you.

Faith is the theme for this week's devotional. What does faith have to do with a world that is in a state of flux? Plenty. We can even talk about the scriptures that are related to Jesus' second coming or edifying stories that provide comfort to the soul, but for now, may our words be few and spend some time in prayer: “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" -Matthew 6:9-13; NIV May you find peace, wisdom, healing, and discernment in this tumultuous time. Written & Edited by
Covered & Kept Ministries Board & Team What do you tell yourself on a daily basis? Do you cling onto strength and virtue on a daily basis? In Hebrew, woman carries the meaning of women with strength and virtue. It is a Jewish tradition to read or sing Proverbs 31:10-31 at the beginning of Sabbath (Friday). Women get to be praised and reminded of the strength God has bestowed upon them. Today, while we may not have a chance to sing Proverbs 31 to one another, I want to share a list of 4 maxims you can add to the mental list you have ready for this week. I pray that you will find peace in the following verses, because it is in God's words that we find strength to be the women God has called us to be. Luke 1:45 Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her. Pslam 139:14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Luke 1:45 "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." Psalms 46:5 "God is within her, she will not fall." Written & Edited by
