Don't Waste This Season
/Our lives are greatly altered due to COVD-19 but that shouldn't mean that our lives are cancelled. If we are people that believe that God is in control, then we must be a people that are listening and learning during this season to what God has for us. Our heavenly Father truly only has good gifts for His children.
What is God teaching us? Maybe to slow down and rest. Maybe to prioritize our most important relationships. Maybe to depend on Him more. Maybe how to serve others in the midst of great difficulty.
During a great plague that ravaged the Roman Empire in 251 AD, one of our African Church Fathers said,
"How suitable, how necessary it is that this plague and pestilence, which seems horrible and deadly, searches out the justice of each and every one and examines the mind of the human race; whether the [healthy] care for the sick, whether relatives dutifully love kinsmen as they should . . . whether physicians do not desert the afflicted." -Cyprian (Bishop of Carthage)
Let us be people who express the Gospel through our service to others. When this is all over, what will others say about us? What will others say about the God we claim to worship?
