“Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, theLORD, is the Rock eternal.” Isaiah 26:4
“God is good, all the time – all the time, God is good.” This is one of my favorite sayings. But right now, I’m scared. I’m worried about what the pandemic is going to do to the Preschool. I have been the director of the preschool at CUMC for the past 21 years. I love this place. I love the people here, especially the kids. And I don’t know what the future holds for our school. But I do know that God is good – all the time.
We have worked hard to put new safety protocols into place for the new school year. Just like the church has done. But will the families come back? Will my staff come back? What if someone gets sick. Worries like these keep me up at night.
On two different occasions this summer, I ran into Rick Day and Cheri Atkinson. Both asked how everything was going. And both said we will get through this. Just like we have in the past. They were right. We have gone through some tough times. The cell tower was a hard time with people protesting and parents threatening to remove their children. And we got through it. The recession in 2008 was a really hard time. I had to cut hours for every single staff person. But we made it through. God is good. He is always with us. I like to think that my running into Rick and Cheri was an encouragement from God.
We will get through this. I do not know how it’s going to happen. So I lay this problem at His feet and know I can trust Him. My faith is in Him. And I believe with all my heart God is good – all the time.
Heavenly Father, we praise you and give you thanks. Teach us to wait upon you. Help us to know that you are always working for our good. May we always trust you. Amen
