Daughter of the King. Quarantine Queen.
“The King’s daughter is all glorious within…. ”
COVID entered our world as an uninvited guest and continued to hang out way longer than any of us expected. It entered our homes. It messed with our hearts. It changed our world and flipped most of what we were familiar with upside down… and then shook it.
It marched in and etched its name on our lives leaving a signature like that on a bathroom stall wall reading, “COVID was here!”
We all knew it. We all saw it. We all felt it.
Corona is an abbreviation for the word coronavirus. Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that have spike like crowns on their surfaces.
Isn’t it amazing that something so tiny can have such huge impact.
When I think of small things that have great impact I think of a baby. An idea. A breeze. A ripple. A spark.
When I think of small things with great impact, I also think of YOU! I think of me.
We all watched our TV screens and social media sites as those little spikes entered the lungs and lives of those around us. We lost jobs. We lost love. We lost life. We lost hope. We lost SO MUCH because of those spikes. We all worked together to flatten a curve and beat an invisible force that was working against our nation and taking what didn’t belong to it!
Jesus came wrapped up in a tiny package to defeat another force that was working against us--- darkness and death. That little baby had a big job to do. He came from a Kingdom of perfect love and eternal light. That little boy grew to be a man. A man that was perfectly God and completely human. The prince of Heaven entered our dark earthly home but instead of hurt, He brought hope! The powers of earthly evil thought they had won as Jesus was beaten, murdered and buried. It looked as if a few small haters won against heaven. BUT when our powerful God decides to finish what He started the earthly situation may not immediately reveal the Heavenly solution, but you can be guaranteed there is one! The mission Jesus was sent to do was just about to begin. Jesus rose from the dead delivering a huge blow to sin and death. There was nothing that could keep Jesus from demonstrating His big love for us and declaring us Daughters of The King!
We may have been struck down by COVID, but we are rising up again in that same life-giving passion, purpose and power that raised Jesus from the dead!
There is nothing in this world that can change what God’s Word says about us and what Jesus did for us! We are world changing women who are victorious daughters of the King of heaven and earth not victims of a pandemic. What was meant to destroy us will only make us stronger. What was meant to take us captive will be what sets us and others free!
Daughters of the King, it is time to rise up.
We are not slaves to fear. We are not isolated and removed from purpose even if we test positive, get quarantined or feel isolated! A change in our activity is not a change in our identity or destiny!
We are not finished. We are only just beginning to rise up out of the rubble, straighten our crowns, brush off our robes of righteousness and look up at our King for that God-wink that assures us we are loved and able to stand firm as we defeat the lies and pain this virus has delivered to us.
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
This coronavirus can’t take away our crown of life even if it threatens us with death (Rev. 2:10).
Our big God crushed COVID-19 the day He rose from the dead and took back the keys to death and hell. We cannot live in fear of something God already defeated. We are the answer to the world’s current crisis because we KNOW THE ANSWER to the world’s problems. Jesus! The pandemic changed our world, but it didn’t change our purpose found in The Word.
War On Corona
When a leader declares war, they usually go looking for the strongest and bravest of warriors. The war we are about to declare on fear, pain, and despair is looking for a different kind of warrior. She is clothed in dignity and laughs at the days to come because she knows she is unshakable, unmovable and unintimidated by an intruder who has no power over her authority. She may not appear to have warrior-like features on the outside, but she has warrior life faith on the inside! We are going to defeat COVID with a force so strong its spikes will step back in fear and tremble as it meets the power of the real crown!
Women like you and me will defeat the effects of COVID when we are willing to face fear, love our neighbor (no matter what!), and spread kindness, truth, and love around like our lives depend on it, because they do! We are the Quarantine Queens!
We will stand up, march forward, and push past the challenges to be the change this world needs.
Every step we take as we GO out in the world, after being so separated, must be big, bold and beautiful. Walk like you own this planet because you do! God has given you authority to speak BIG POWERFUL words in His big love over every problem this pandemic has presented to us.
“Greater is He that is within you than that which is within the world!”
Let’s show up for each other. Let’s be here for this hurting world as we recover. Let’s remind the darkness that it only takes one small, redeemed woman with a royal crown on her head to crush what is trying to crush us. COVID has impacted us, but it’s time for another crown capable of greater impact to change this world. It’s time to show up and SHINE!
Quarantine Queens, we are taking back what is rightfully and royally ours. Fear is a liar. Death is defeated. We are never alone and it’s time to rise up!
Fix your crown, straighten out the wrinkles in your clothes of righteousness (power suit or leggings will do), and dust off your butt-kicking shoes of victory. It’s time to turn this world upside right!
You are a beloved daughter of the King. There is no diagnosis, disaster, or world-wide dilemma that can change WHO YOU ARE and WHOSE YOU ARE! Let’s GoGirls! You are the Quarantine Queens!
“Jesus, Fill me with your power. Remind me of my purpose. Give me passion to rise up from the rubble of these dark, hard days and bring a glory to the earth that you have empowered me to live in and give away. ”
