The COVID pandemic has changed many things in our lives. From work to church to recreation to family time, we have all had to make adjustments to the way we did things before the virus disrupted life.
Now, with COVID restrictions easing, things are moving towards the way they were. Well, not exactly “normal” but closer to whatever that means than they were a few months back. Will we ever return to the place we were? Do we even want to go there? What new patterns have the COVID virus uncovered that we want to embrace and retain on the other side of the pandemic?
How might we navigate “the return” as children of God? Just as there was a sacred aspect to living in the pandemic, there is a spiritual dimension to what happens next. What might God have in store for us, or beckon us towards as we re-engage, restore, and rebuild our lives?
There is a wonderful opportunity in the days ahead for us to grow in our faith and establish practices that will nurture our spirit for years to come. As we put pieces together, we have the chance to place our relationship with God at the center. Taking time to reflect, pray, and dwell in God’s Word, will help us not only navigate the uncertainties of this moment of great personal and societal transition, but it will encourage spiritual transformation.
To help with this, I have created a daily devotional entitled, Ventures: of which we cannot see the ending. Beginning on Sunday, May 23, you will receive an email containing scripture, reflections, questions to ponder, poems, stories, and a daily prayer. I’ve designed it so that you can read it in less than five minutes.
In Christ’s Light,
Walt
