It’s been a rough few days, hasn’t it? Well, amidst the corona-crazy (the virus itself, the reactions of people to it, the adjustments we’re all having to make as a result of various measures, and the way we’re newly finding ourselves interacting with each other), you still made it this far. The Lord has a plan for you. Maybe this presents an excellent opportunity for you to get to know Him a little better?
Hopefully you stopped in here for a little pick-me-up because that is precisely what I had in mind. There’s plenty of panicking elsewhere; here, we can strengthen our calm to carry it out into the world – whether or not you’re cooped up at home.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
– Proverbs 3:5-8
and do not rely on your own insight.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your bones.
And for those seeking a more contemporary quote…
This is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world.
– President Donald Trump, Coronavirus Address,
response to WHO Declaring COVID-19 a Pandemic
Stay calm. Stay strong. Stay clean. Most importantly, know you are loved even in your darkest hour.
