Hey Church!
This Sunday, masks will be optional when you attend services. We may not have seen the last of the COVID-19 fallout yet but the latest advisories from the state of Florida do represent another step towards a return to “normal.” As I thought about it, I was reminded of the conditions in which many of us were living before March of 2020–namely, a sort of rat-wheel busyness.
Early on in this pandemic, Pastor Tom explained to us how times of crisis tend to make us more of what we already are. Well, what has this season revealed about your character? About your lifestyle? Your faith? Your strengths and weaknesses?
I think it’s a good time to honestly reflect on what this season has brought to light regarding your spiritual health (or disease). It may take some time to think back on all the trials endured and lessons learned, so chew on it over the weekend. If you can journal your thoughts, that may help you process things and also serve as a reference during future life-disruptions. Also think about how God has been faithful to provide for you during this season.
Let’s all come to church this Sunday ready to praise God for who He is and for all He has done to sustain us!
Your brother,
Ryan
