BIG Life Devotional | Daily Devotional for Women show

Summary: <br> Oh, it’s happening for sure, cancellations are everywhere. The Coronavirus has schools being cancelled, games and concerts being cancelled, vacations being cancelled. Ya’ll Disney shut down! Airplanes have more empty seats than passengers. Many kids are home, and there’s a chance you will be too.<br> It seems life just go cancelled. Everywhere you thought you were going and everything you thought you were doing, well that all changed quickly. Cancelled.<br> But make no mistake about it, God’s plans for you DID NOT CANCEL. He still has a plan, and it’s a good plan. Your purpose DID NOT GET CANCELED. You still have a job to do and a role to fill. Your future is still on track because none of this is a surprise to God. Not one bit. Jesus knew all about this.<br> In fact when asked about the end coming, Jesus replied in Matthew 24:6-8 “And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.”<br> That was 2,000 years ago. He knew it was coming. We can go down that list and make a whole lot of check-marks. It seems the birth pains of Heaven are here. Actually, they’ve been here for quite some time.<br> And what does Jesus instruct us to do? “Don’t panic.”<br> That is very clear. Do not panic.<br> God’s plans haven’t changed. His plans for you still stand. You didn’t see this coming, but he did and he has made a way right through it.<br> I have a friend who is a producer in Hollywood. Every last show and event on her schedule has been cancelled. Her entire business is gone. And Jesus says “Becci, do not panic.”<br> I have a friend who runs a daycare. The schools in her area have been closed for 6 weeks. This means her kids are home and because of state guidelines in the daycare, she’s not allowed to bring her children to the daycare, so it must be closed too. Her income is gone. And Jesus says “Kelsey, do not panic.”<br> Andrea was on her way to Disney for Springbreak. Her kids had been counting down the days to the trip of a lifetime. Then Disney closed. Oh the disappointment. Their vacation is gone. And Jesus says “Andrea, do not panic.”<br> Jenny’s wedding is almost here. Big plans for her big day are majorly threatened. Could her wedding be cancelled by the state? And Jesus says, “Jenny, do not panic.”<br> Kim is on her final roll of toilet paper without a single store with stock in a 100 mile radius. Ya’ll their butt wipe is gone. And Jesus says “Kim, do not panic.”<br> Whatever your scenario and how ever this may have impacted your plans, your vacation, your business, your family, your livelihood, or your routine, Jesus is here today saying “DO NOT PANIC.”<br> Why? Because he knew this was coming.<br> HIS PLANS HAVE NOT BEEN CANCELLED.<br> God knew his faithful fellas Shadrach, Meshach and Abendnego would be stopped in their tracks from doing the good they were doing and be thrown in the fire. These were guys who had jobs and they were good at their jobs. They were being faithful and doing the right thing, and then boom … the King throws them in the fire.<br> That wasn’t fair. Just like it’s not fair jobs are getting cancelled, plans are getting cancelled, heck everything is getting cancelled. Countless lives are being impacted here. These are good people in the middle of a real mess and this fire may be getting real hot without a single member of your family even being sick. You may live in an area where there isn’t a single case of infection, yet the flames are right outside your door seemingly cancelling life...
