Thoughts: Today is Ascension Day. It is the day we can take our yard crosses down and the white paraments on them. In ancient Christianity, Ascension Day was a more important hold day than even Christmas. It means that Christ not only rose, but He is exalted- rising even higher to the throne of God. There He prays for us. He is exalted as sovereign.
The same God who is sovereign over the earth is also sovereign over all sickness. No coronavirus can make Him sick, or change His plans, or keep Him from accomplishing his purposes in you and me. On this earth, we are not yet risen and exalted. But one day, we will leave all the brokenness, pain, mourning and sickness behind us. I believe, though, that God is still at work right here despite our pain and sicknesses. He is our help but more than that He is ascended to show He is able to help more than any other being. We fix our eyes not on a dead or even living Christ, but the ascended Lord!
Prayer: Lord, let me remember you are not the dead Lord. Or just a living Lord. You are the Highly exalted Lord to whom every knee will bow.
