A Brief Note Concerning Covid and the US Elections 

It has been 7 months since South Africa put into effect lockdown policies. Will this thing ever go away? And now there is chaos in the United States concerning the elections. What a year. We are reminded of God's promise in Jeremiah 29:11 (ESV):

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 

The Jewish people were in captivity when God spoke this prophecy through Jeremiah. They were uncertain about their future. It was into this circumstance that God spoke the encouraging words that He had plans to give them a future and a hope.

God has great plans for the United States and the world! He has plans for good and not evil. The enemy of our souls that is behind covid and the chaos in the United States does not have the last say. God does. Then what is God saying? That is an important question for each of us to answer. For that, we need to take time to listen for His voice, so we can pray what He is saying. It is only when we know and pray His will that we can be certain that our prayers will be answered by Him (1John 5:14-15).

We believe that we are in a scenario similar to that in 2 Kings 7 where Samaria is besieged by Syria. Food and water were nonexistent or in short supply in the city. No hope for deliverance was in sight. It was into this circumstance that Elisha prophecies that the next day things would turn around. Let us keep our eyes on God, hear what He is saying, and pray according to His will. If we do that, then we will soon experience our deliverance!

A BIrthday Celebration

Due to the lockdown regulations Jen did not get much of a birthday celebration in July, so we did a joint birthday celebration for Todd and Jen this month. A friend of ours is a tour guide, and has not had work because of the lockdown. She took us on a guided tour of Table Mountain (one of the 7 natural wonders of the world) and some of the historical areas of Cape Town. We had a wonderful time, and will do a second tour day in the near future!
