Shut in With God

This is our garden thus far this year, planted with lettuce and radishes.  Looks like it needs a bit of watering.  Working in the garden has been one of our projects while we are under stay-at-home orders here in Romania.
Like much of the rest of the world, we are sheltering in place, but we are healthy and safe and very thankful to live in a house with a yard and small garden we can spend time in when the weather is good.  We are allowed to go out once a day for exercise close to home.  We are also allowed to leave home to buy necessities like groceries or medicine.
Church meetings, as well as all other types of meetings, are not allowed, but we are enjoying being able to watch online as Pastor Simi and his family lead worship services and prayer meetings.
Now we have more time to spend with the Lord and reminds us of an old song:
  Shut in with God in a secret place,
  There in his presence beholding his face,
  Gaining new power to run in the race,
  I love to be shut in with God.
God is preparing us spiritually for what lies ahead and he is preparing you, too, as you will allow him.  Please take time to pray with us as you are shut in.  Please pray for Romania, for our Inste group, for those who are suffering during this difficult time, for wisdom for national leaders to make wise decisions, and especially for the Gospel to go forth with power, bringing many to faith in Christ.  We need God more than ever today.  May the Father draw you closer and closer to him as you spend time with him in the Word and in prayer.
