Every single time I open social media, I see someone writing about their fears and anxiety. I see people "tired of this," and "ready to get back out there." Some are writing, "What's life going to be and look like now? Will it ever be the same, or are the good days gone and soon forgotten?"
I understand those feelings, I really do, and I cannot predict what the coming weeks, months and years will look like. I have a feeling things will be very different. Permanently? I do not know. But things will certainly be different for a while.
Here's what I do know and claim tightly to during all of this:
"Yet I am confident I will still see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living." - Psalm 27:13 (NLT)
I once read when we go to God in prayer, He is on His Throne of Grace. So during this global pandemic, I picture God, my Papa, on His Throne of Grace.
And I echo David's words, "Yet I am confident I will still see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living."
God is not finished with us yet. I know this, because He is not dwelling among us. Until Jesus comes back for us or we meet Him in His Kingdom, God's not finished with us yet. So I am confident I will still see the Lord's goodness while I am here in the land of the living.
I pray you will be confident as well.
