Anxious Days Call For The Ancient of Days

By Debra DuPree Williams @DDuPreeWilliams

Hello all. Here we are, beginning week three of social distancing, but now mandatory shelter-in-place orders are in effect until the end of April. We don’t know if that will be extended at this point. Only time will tell.

These are uncertain times. News changes daily. Warnings change with each social media post. At this point, I’m paying little attention to those. All they do is make me anxious.

But in these uncertain times, we can rely on the One who does not change (Hebrews 13:8).In the book of Daniel, Daniel calls God the Ancient of Days. (Daniel 7:9-14).  Philippians 4:6-7 tells us not to be anxious about anything, but to go to God with our requests. It goes on to tell us that in doing so, we will be filled with the peace of God. I’m paraphrasing here, go to your Bible for the entire verse. While you’re there, just read the entire book. It’s a short one and is full of goodies, just like the rest of God’s Word.

Staying In and Doing Well

How are you and your family holding up during our time of confinement? That used to apply to women who were about to give birth. Now, it’s rather appropriate for all of us.

My husband and I have been in for about two weeks. We just decided we have all we need so there was no need for us to go out. Hubby had somewhat of a premonition about such a time as this a few months ago and we began gathering extra things then. We didn’t go out and hoard, we simply bought extra things on each shopping trip for the past few months. Not enough that we’d be considered hoarders, but enough for us to get by for a few weeks. 

Be Cautious and Pray

As the publication date for Grave Consequences nears, I find myself busy with all manner of marketing things. With getting items made and things ticked off my “to do” list, I’m humming right along.

Many of you have contacted me about being on my launch team. I can’t tell you how much that means to me. A book doesn’t just appear out of thin air. It takes a lot of people coming alongside us to get word out about it.

Be Aware

But even as I’m busy doing those things, I’m acutely aware that we are in the midst of a huge health issue for many parts of the world. My own state, North Carolina, now has at least two if not more, cases of COVID-19.
