Don't make your life all about the Pandemic.
Today I visited a few of our elderly members in a nursing home and conducted communion with them. We listened to hymns on YouTube from my smartphone. I shared from a book I have been recently reading regarding the pandemic. It's based on Jesus' words from John 16:33. In this world you will have trouble but I have overcome the world. Christ and Calamities go together. But Christ wins, all the time.
Instead of focusing on the pandemic, focus on how you are going to deal with it. Specifically, focus on your relationship with our Heavenly Father. In this pandemic, we need to walk closer with Jesus Christ.
Personal Application: Starting the day and ending the day with Jesus.
Instead of turning on the TV or looking at the Smart phone for the latest COVID numbers when you watch up tomorrow morning, go old school. Open a bible and ask God to speak to you. Trust me, if you pray that prayer, He will. Ask God to give you strength to cope with what the day might bring. Look for moments, opportunities where Jesus is present and working. Trust me, He is.
Finish the day, as I am tonight. Instead on Netflix, I am choosing tonight to finish my day reflecting on Jesus. I've seen God worked today. My time of fellowship and communion with my brothers and sisters at the nursing was a moment of grace. God was at work in their lives.
