“the boy the mole the fox and the horse“
by Charlie Mackesy
Breaking announcements have become common as the red flashes across our screens, as the attention-seeking noise blares from the radio. Closures, limitations, warnings and preparations are rocking our entire world.
“His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed”
– Daniel 7:14
And I sit here, in the early morning hours, when silence is the only volume, and I turn to the window and watch the horizon lighten, ever so slowly. The sun is indifferent to viruses, to pandemics, to troubles … it just does what it was created to do … it rises, every day.
“From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord is to be praised.”
– Psalm 113:3
And what were we created to do?
praise the name of the Lord …
- in our prayers
- in our care for our neighbors
- in our willingness to self isolate
- in our reading his word
- in our flexibility and understanding
- in our support of the helpers
- in supporting organizations and businesses that will be impacted
- in our lifting up of praises in song
- in our prayers
Lord,
May we be found doing what we were created for … praising you, from the rising to the setting of the sun. May you do what you promised, for us, granting us your peace, no matter the situation we are walking through.
Amen
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
– Hebrews 13:8
