We have certainly had a rocky couple of months. Just as things seem to be looking up and we can see light at the end of the tunnel something else comes along to knock us off balance. If it isn't an infectious disease then its mass unemployment and if not unemployment then social unrest. I don't know how you feel, but these things can be quite unsettling to me if I am not careful. So where do we turn in times of trouble?
COVID-19 has brought with it distancing of the saints from one another. Most of us have spent the last couple of months cooped up in our homes with little interaction with the outside world apart from trips to the grocery store and virtual meetings. We now find ourselves in a strange time where we are working our way out of that isolation however, the threat that sent us there hasn’t gone away. Yet we know that God designed the church in such a way that we need one another. So where do we go from here? The following are some of my thoughts on how this process ought to look.
Above all else, brothers and sisters, don't ever lose sight of the hope that we have in the gospel. Keep your eyes fixed upon Jesus and give thanks in all circumstances. For He has defeated death on our behalf and nothing that we face on this earth can separate us from His grace. Let our posts be filled with thankfulness and let us be known as a thankful people.
Remember beloved, that it is not the end of the pandemic that we are waiting for. We are not just waiting for life to get back to "normal". We have a far greater hope and reality awaiting us. This time will pass, but don't let it pass by without making the most of the opportunities that God has provided in it.
