Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
There is an old Puritan prayer from long ago called Year’s End that says, “Thy goodness has been with me during another year, leading through a twisting wilderness.” If anything this year has been like a twisting wilderness. We’ve stumbled and bumbled through the wilderness of a pandemic that has made each of us feel separated from normalcy and the ones we love. If some were honest with themselves, they’ve been separated spiritually and emotionally long before a pandemic. Have you reconnected with God? Have you used these weird and strange times to draw near to those you love? Do you trust God for your daily needs? As the Puritan prayer continues, “If thou hast appointed storms of tribulation, thou wilt be with me in them; If I have to pass through tempests of persecution and temptation, I shall not drown; if I am to die, I shall see thy face sooner.”
With Much Love,
Pastor Chris
