M arch , Corona Virus and the Power of God. There is almost no words that can express the time period and flow that we are going through right now. All I am going to say is that God is amazing! As a Christian magazine, we simply want to take some time out to honor God and to remind you all of what the Bible says. As a Christian, it is your birthright to know and rely upon God's promises and what he has told us. We must trust and believe that through his word that any negativity or adversity that we go through in this life time cannot, as the Apostle Paul reminded us, compare to what God has in store for us in heaven. No matter what happens, I want you to hold on to the fact that any given situation could happen and take your body, but your soul, it belongs to God, and including your body. We want you at this time to trust God and his amazing saving grace and ability to cover you, even in the midst of the storm. It is your biblical inheritance that will withstand the test of time, not man's opinion of what they feel the current day's events are about. Our job is to continue to look towards to the heavens, be still and wait and listen for precise wisdom, guidance and direction from the Lord. Don't join the panic or frenzy around what is taking place today, rather give place to love, peace, joy, happiness, well-being, and safety. Nothing has happened on God's watch without him knowing about it, and the corona virus is no different. It is how you respond to it that will make the difference. Be safe, eat healthy and follow the guidelines given. Happy reading! StephanieMaxwell- Robles Publisher/Editor- in Chief Content and Creative Director

PSALM S 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside still waters: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name sake, Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for though art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
