My family and I drove around Kansas City last night after having an ice cream treat. I wasn’t expecting much since most everything is closed, just a short one-hour drive to get out of the house and see parts of the city we had not viewed in months.
The one thing that bothered us, while driving, was the number of reckless speeders on the roads. Some cars were going at least 20 over and the majority of cars were speeding. We then recalled how many people have sped past our house in the past days. Then it hit us, there were no police! In fact, I don’t recall seeing many police anywhere lately, even in the area where we live where we see them frequently.
What happened? I know police morale is at an all-time low, but would that stop them from doing their work? Then I read the attached article this morning.
LAPD Morale Collapses to ‘Record Low’: ‘It’s Simply Not Worth It Any Longer’
What have people done? When the police and the people who protect us think “what’s the point”, we are in trouble! That is the spirit of death, and I know that it affects many lives in this hour, you don’t need much spiritual discernment to feel that.
Please, do not lose hope. Reject the spirit of death by rejecting hopelessness, suicidal thoughts and despair. Tell any thought or voice that says “what’s the point?” or “nobody cares” to shut up! We will get through this! Trust in God to get us through this!
I pray for the world to recover quickly. It has become very challenging to even talk to the kids about the affairs of the world, it is simply too disheartening.
During these times, we do our best to keep our mouths full of praise. We worship often, we exercise and we pray all day long for our neighbors and for friends and family members who seem to have dropped off the planet. I know we are not alone and if you are reading this, YOU are definitely not alone, you are loved! ❤️
Blessings to you this day, I pray that hope, peace and joy are restored to the hearts and minds of all, may the Lord shine His grace and mercy on your life and family and give you rest. 🙏
